We are able to "speak" the glyphs. The Maya language like others has sounds (phonetics) that represent their pictorial glyphs.
Perhaps you would like to give it a shot yourself. I am not an expert, but if you have a problem perhaps I can help after ya give it a try.
Yes the halfmoon site is down for now. Wonder what cool additions they are up too?
Here are a couple of great links to aid in determining the glyphs and referencing how some words, consonants, syllables, and vowels would sound in reference to the glyphs.
They take quite some time to load, well worth the wait.
For some word glyphs
For a syllabes
To the left of each page you will click on the appropriate syllable, then turn up the volume on your computer and click on the glyph that you have chosen to hear what it sounds like in the Maya tounge.
Enjoy..........Remember it takes a minute to load.
Ok, lets see if anyone can see this like I do.
George= CH'O and CHE
Sound out your name as best you can compareing each consonant and vowel with the appropriate glyphs from the syllabary links above.
Come on back and share what you came up with.
