Rare Languages
What are rare languages?
Rare languages, often referred to as endangered or minority languages, are languages with a dwindling number of speakers, often to the point of being at risk of becoming extinct. The classification of rare languages is based on various factors, and linguists and organizations like UNESCO have established criteria to identify and categorize them.
Why rare languages matter
Despite being termed 'rare,' rare languages are still commonly represented in populations. Some of the most common rare languages in the United States are Q'eqchi', Mam, Q'anjob'al, and K'iche. These languages are of Mayan origin and are endemic to small portions of Guatemala.
Why Rare
The Rare Difference
- US-Based Interpreters

- Deep Industry Experience
Rare's founders have a deep knowledge of Mayan language, traditions and culture that is difficult to replicate.
- Small, Women-Owned Business
Rare is founded and operated by a small team of women in Utah. WOSB certification pending.
