The Maya people are famous for their system of writing, the only written language in the Americas. What do we call it?

Hieroglyphics, which translates literally to "holy inscriptions," is how scholars refer to the Mayan system of writing. It is called this mostly because it bears a superficial resemblance to Egyptian hieroglyphics.
