This essay proposes a hypothesis that Mixe-Zoquean speakers --more specifically Mixeans --were involved in the initial stages and subsequent development of the Maya hieroglyphic writing system, traces of which we see in the inscriptions of the Classic period and in the codices of post-Classic and later traditions. The hypothesis is supported by evidence that the well-known "alphabet" provided by Bishop Diego de Landa contains at least some symbols that can be viewed as icons whose phonetic values can be derived more easily from Mixean languages than from Mayan languages.
