Line 72:
Writing in 1997, [[Lyle Campbell]], an expert in Mayan languages and historical linguistics, argued that the most promising proposal is the "[[Macro-Mayan languages|Macro-Mayan]]" hypothesis, which posits links between Mayan, the [[Mixe–Zoque languages]] and the [[Totonacan languages]], but more research is needed to support or disprove this hypothesis.<ref name="Campbell 1997, p.165"/> In 2015, Campbell noted that recent evidence presented by David Mora-Marin makes the case for a relationship between Mayan and Mixe-Zoquean languages "much more plausible".{{sfn|Mora-Marín|2016}}{{sfn|Campbell|2015|p=54}}
Some scholars believe that [[Reformed Egyptian]] may be a shorthand version of the Mayan language.<ref>{{cite journal|url=https://www.academia.edu/31864298|title=New Light: "Anthon Transcript" Writing Found?|journal=Journal of Book of Mormon Studies|volume = 8|issue = 1|pages= 68–70|last1=Grover |first1=Jerry }}</ref>
