Maya communities were organized into city-states, each governed by a king or a noble class, often referred to as the "ajaw" or "king." These city-states, such as Tikal and Calakmul, were politically independent and engaged in both trade and warfare with each other. Social structure was hierarchical, with a clear distinction between the elite, including priests and nobles, and the common people, who were primarily farmers and laborers. Additionally, communal activities, religious rituals, and marketplace interactions played vital roles in the cohesion and functioning of Maya society.

The western territories' communities were organized into evenly sized plots.
Maya civilization was more advanced in technology, mathematics, and astronomy compared to the Olmec civilization. The Maya society was more hierarchical and organized, with city-states ruled by kings, while the Olmec civilization is known for their colossal stone heads and their influence on later Mesoamerican cultures. Additionally, the Maya had a fully developed writing system while the Olmec did not.
The ancient Maya civilization primarily spoke languages within the Mayan language family, such as Yucatec, K'iche', and Q'eqchi'. These languages are still spoken by indigenous communities in Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, and Honduras today.
