The Chʼolan (a.k.a. Cholan–Tzeltalan languages) are a branch of the Mayan family of Mexico. These languages break into six sections being Cholan and Tzeltalan. Cholan has then two subsections being Western Cholan and Chʼoltiʼan; these composing the two larger sections of slight linguistic differences portrayed by Kuryłowicz's Fourth Law of Analogy. The language Tzeltalan also breaks up into sections; Tzendal (colonial Tzeltal), Tzotzil, and Wastekan. These subsections differ by similar linguistic differences.
