What language was spoken by the ancient Maya?

  1. Latin

  2. Sanskrit

  3. Quiche

  4. Hieroglyphics

The correct answer is: Quiche

Latin and Sanskrit were not spoken by the ancient Maya. Latin was used by ancient Romans, while Sanskrit was used by ancient Indians. Hieroglyphics, while associated with the Maya, are not a language. They are a form of writing system used by the Maya, but the actual language spoken by the Maya people was Quiche. Therefore, C is the correct answer.
