Zinacantan, Chamula, and Chenalho are neighbouring Mayan communities situated in highland Chiapas, Mexico. The inhabitants of the three communities speak dialects of the Tzotzil language. This study reveals that, although the three communities share a common pool of ritual symbols, they elaborate them differently in ritual humour.
