pronounced with a "sh" sound; as in Xcaret is pronounced Ish-kuh-ret.

The words and names are a blend of spanish and mayan languages.

Keep in mind, it's not latin america, it's Mexico. They aren't hispanics, They aren't latin. They're actually native americans much related to all the other tribes in this hemisphere, from the Inuits in Alaska to all of the USA tribes, on down through Chile... all the tribes of the Americas are inter-related.

Fascinating to see the striking similarities in cultures and genetics throughout the hemisphere.
