I'm a person who loves to compare languages. This video compares the Navajo (Diné) language to a linguistic sister language, the Jicarilla Apache (Abáachi Mizaa) language. Both are considered to be Southern Athabaskan languages. This video is not meant to be an in-depth breakdown of how the sentence structures differ, it's just meant to compare a few words and phrases between the languages. The clips for the Jicarilla Apache language are taken from "Native America Calling." The clips can be found at: The traditional Apache song used at the beginning and end of the video is called "I Walk In Beauty." It is sung by Bonnie Lewis, a member of the White Mountain Apache tribe, and is available on the CD entited "For The Children." I hope you enjoy this video!
