Navajo, Lesson One: tones, vowels, diacritics thanks William Yazzie, Chief Ranger at Canyon de Chelly Navajo (Diné bizaad)! an Athabaskan language, tonal (like Chinese, different tones and lengths have different meanings!), spoken by the Navajo and related to the apache language and other languages spoken in the northwestern US and Alaska. Also recall the Navajo Code talkers of WWII… more lessons soon of course
