The Maya Hieroglyph Dictionary provides translations and analyses of about 1,000 Maya hieroglyphic words and compounds, arranged in alphabetical order. Each entry will eventually include a picture of the hieroglyph as well as its transcription and a translation in English and Spanish. The Maya Hieroglyph Dictionary also provides analyses of the word or compound and cross-references to similar words and compounds. A major aim of the Maya Hieroglyph Dictionary is for it to be 'user-friendly', so that words can be looked up either by the Maya word or by their English or Spanish translation.
