 Navajo language   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Navajo ('''Diné bizaad''') (occasionally spelled Navaho) is a Southern Athabaskan or Apachean language of the Athabaskan language family, belonging to the Na-Dené phylum.
It is like the other Southern Athabaskan languages in that although the majority of the languages in the Na-Dené family are spoken much farther north (Alaska, Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Canadian Provinces), Navajo is spoken much farther south (in the southwest United States) by the Navajo people ('''Diné''').
Athabaskan words are modified primarily by prefixes, which is unusual for an SOV language (suffixes are expected).
