Questions for persons aged three and older
[Questions 11 - 12 were asked of persons age three or older.]

12. Ethnic characteristics
This question set is a new one which combines related variables and is intended to determine the ethnic make-up of the population. It is distinct from the "ethnic group" question, which is based on self-identification.

Only ask people who are three years old or older the questions these questions, which are about the first language learned; the ability to speak one of the Mayan languages or Spanish; and Mayan outfit.

Question B
Ask anyone three or older, "Do you currently speak a Mayan language?" This is different from the question about first language learned. Mark an X in the appropriate circle.

If the person speaks more than one Mayan language record the one he/she speaks most easily (the one he/she speaks best).

If the Mayan language the person speaks is other than one already specified (K'iché, Kaqchikel, Mam, Q'eqchi') mark an X in the circle corresponding to question 5 and specify which one in the space provided.
