What reading level is The Books of Chilan Balam, the Prophetic And Historic Records of the Mayas of Yucatan book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A number are given much longer than the above, and containing various curious references to ancient usages.
lO Another value they have in common with all the rest of the text of these books, and it is one which will be properly appreciated by any student of languages. They are, by common consent of all competent authorities, the genuine productions of native minds, cast in the idiomatic forms of the native tongue by those born to its use. No matter how fluent a foreigner becomes in a language n...ot his own, he can never use it as does one who has been familiar with it from childhood. This general maxim is ten-fold true when we apply it to a European learning an American language. The flow of thought, as exhibited in these two linguistic families, is in such different directions that no amount of practice can render one equally accurate in both. Hence the importance of studying a tongue as it is employed by natives ; and hence the very high estimate I place on these "Books of Chilan Balam" as linguistic material, — an esti- mate much increased by the great rarity of independent composi- tions in their own tongues by members of the native races of this continent.
