Summary

Description
Español: Mapa de las diferentes entidades territoriales que existían en Centroamérica en el siglo XVI antes de la llegada de los españoles. En lo referente a la simbología, se tomaron en cuenta las siguientes consideraciones: Reinos, todas aquellas entidades territoriales (llamadas comúnmente señoríos o cacicazgos) que contaban con una capital y un señor principal; confederación, todas aquellas entidades conformadas por señoríos o poblaciones que aunque eran independientes tenían algún tipo de integración o alianza; territorio, todas aquellas regiones conformadas por varios señoríos o poblaciones (ya sean sedentarias, nómadas o seminómadas) que no contaban con algún tipo de integración o alianza, y de las que hay nula o escasa información de como estaban constituidos o de como se encontraban delimitados los territorios de todos o algunas entidades que se encontraban en esa región; como poblaciones importantes se toman en cuenta aquellas poblaciones que eran parte de la organización administrativa de alguna entidad, aquellas poblaciones que tuvieron un papel destacado en la conquista española de alguna entidad (como aquellas en las que se libraron batallas importantes), y las poblaciones donde se hablaban o donde aún se hablan algunas lenguas o dialectos; por último, es de mencionar que las otras etnias o culturas mostradas podrían haber estado sometidas a la entidad donde se mencionan o podrían ser independientes de dicha entidad
English: Map of the different territorial entities that existed in Central America in the XVI century before the arrive of the spanish people. With regard to symbology, the following considerations were taken: "reino" (Kingdoms), all those territorial entities (commonly called "señoríos" (lordships) or "cacicazgos") that had a capital and a principal lord; "confederación" (confederation), all those entities conformed by "señoríos" or towns that although they were independent had some type of integration or alliance; "territorio" (territory), all those regions conformed by several "señoríos" or towns (whether sedentary, nomadic or semi-nomadic) that did not count on some type of integration or alliance, and of which there is null or little information of how they were constituted or as were delimited the territories of all or someone entities that were in that region; on the other hand, as important towns are mentioned those towns that were part of the administrative organization of some entity, those towns that had a prominent role in the Spanish conquest of some entity (such as those in which important battles were fought), and the localities where some languages or dialects were spoken, or where they are still spoken today; Finally, it is worth mentioning that the other ethnic groups or cultures shown could have been submitted to the entity where they are mentioned or could be independent of said entity.
