"...they spoke some indigenous lingo unique to the Guatemalan mountain they rolled off of...."

Quechua. They speak Quechua.

It's now the language of the parking lot of Home Depot. They have supplanted Spanish speakers.

And yeah, they are low IQ cavemen.

Quechua is the language of the Incas, still spoken in parts of Peru and Bolivia. The Mayans speak something else. In fact, there are about twenty different languages still spoken in the Yucatan and Guatemala by descendants of the Maya. I’ve traveled around the Yucatan, but not Guatemala. It’s hard to believe that the Mayans were not from Southeast Asia, as some could easily be mistaken for Cambodians, although DNA studies suggest that they came here by way of the Bearing land bridge. Many of the Mayan villages I saw had electricity, and were a collection of stick huts with thatched roofs. Each village typically had two large concrete pads, one set up as a basket ball court, and the other with a row of washing machines on it. I was told these were a gift from the PRI for the Mayan vote. The villages I didn’t see were far off the beaten path, with the entrance marked by a few plastic bottles tied to a bush near the roadside, so the bus would know where to stop.
