Ancient civilization of the Americas (5)

I believe the answer is:

mayan

(Other definitions for mayan that I've seen before include "Former native of Central America" , "Mexican native" , "Pre-Conquest inhabitant of Central America" , "Central American Indian language" , "Cent. American tongue" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
