Cauque Mayan is a mixed language a K’iche’ (Quiché) base relexified by Kaqchikel (Cakchiquel). During the colonial era K’iche’ migrated to Sacatepéquez in the heart of Kaqchikel territory where they founded the village of Santa María Cauque. Today only older adults retain the K’iche’ base to their speech: for younger speakers the language has merged into Kaqchikel.
