Chicomuceltec (or Chicomucelteco) is a Mayan language that until recently was spoken in the towns of Mazapa de Madero, Amatenango, and Chicomuselo in Chiapas, Mexico, as well as some nearby areas of Guatemala. It has become extinct, as recent Mayanist literature reports that there are no living native speakers.
Chicomuceltec was sometimes called Cakchiquel Mam, although it is only distantly related to Cakchiquel or Mam, being much closer to Huastec.
