Writing Mayan Glyphs!
Use The Mayan Syllabic Grid and follow the steps below to write your own name. Note that the sounds represented by the letters letters D, F, G, Q, R, and V are not found in the Mayan language. If your name contains one of these sounds, choose a different glyph that is close to the sound in your name. Use the pronunciation key below to help you choose.
Writing Your Name With Mayan Glyphs 1. On a sheet of paper, write out your name as it sounds in syllables.
Examples: Savita = sah ve tah Tyro = ti ro
2. Find the glyph that best matches each syllable in The Mayan Syllabic Grid (or another syllabary). Remember, because the Mayan language does not match our own, you may need to choose a glyph that sounds similar but is not an exact match.
sa
yi
Savita
te
Tyro
Examples: Savita = sa yi ta Tyro = te wo (There are no exact matches for the syllables ve, ti, and ro.)
3. Write your name by drawing the glyphs in sequence, according to the number of syllables and the order shown in the block diagrams below. For two and three syllable names, choose the block with the spaces in which your glyphs fit best.
ta
wo
TIP: If you are using a syllabary grid that shows more than one glyph for a letter/sound, choose the glyph you like best.
