Try out our Navajo course. Navajo is spoken mostly in the Southwestern United States, especially in the Navajo Nation area. It is one of the most widely spoken Native American languages, with almost 170,000 Americans speaking Navajo.

To get technical, Navajo is a language of the Apachean subgroup of the Athabaskan branch of the Na-Dené language family, along with Apache.

Basically, its pretty similar to Apache, but completely unrelated to other Native Languages.

Although Navajo uses a Latin alphabet, it looks much more exotic due to its healthy sprinkling of letter accents! It’s on the endangered list making a comeback, helped by the fact that the few words from other languages are added.
