| Key facts | The ISO 639-2/5 code “cai” groups together scores of distinct indigenous languages spoken from southern Mexico to PanamaIt is a bibliographic/collective code, not the name of a single language with its own normsEach member language (e.g., Kʼicheʼ, Qʼeqchiʼ, Bribri) has its own orthography, grammar, and dialect networkLinguists employ the umbrella code only when the precise language has not been identifiedFor accurate linguistic description, the individual ISO code of each language is used instead of “cai”. |
| Sample phrase | N/A – “cai” is a collective identifier, so there is no single way to write “Hello, how are you?” that would cover all Central American Indian languages. |
