PSA: no, the Maya are not extinct
Because if I see one more person trotting out the old "how come the Mayans couldn't predict their own extinction" chestnut, I'm going to get cranky:

"There are an estimated 7 million Maya living in [southern Mexico/northern Central America] at the start of the 21st century. Maya of Guatemala, southern Mexico and the Yucatán Peninsula, Belize, El Salvador, and western Honduras have managed to maintain substantial remnants of their ancient cultural heritage. Some are quite integrated into the majority hispanicized Mestizo cultures of the nations in which they reside, while others continue a more traditional culturally distinct life, often speaking one of the Maya languages as a primary language."
