Na-Dene language is a family of Native American languages that includes at least the Athabaskan languages, Eyak, and Tlingit languages. Haida was formerly included but is now considered doubtful. By far the most widely spoken Na-Dene language today is Navajo.
In February 2008, a proposal connecting Na-Dene (excluding Haida) to the Yeniseian languages of central Siberia into a Dené-Yeniseian family was published and well-received by a number of linguists. It was proposed in a 2014 paper that the Na-Dene languages of North America and the Yeniseian languages of Siberia such as the severely endangered Ket language had a common origin in a language spoken in Beringia, between the two continents.
Na-Dené languages have a relatively small number of vowels
Vowels can be long or short. They have large inventories of consonants which include stops, fricatives, and affricates.
Stops and affricates can be plain, aspirated, or ejective.
Na-Dené languages use tones to distinguish Navajo has 4 tones, while Apache and Gwich’in have two.
All Na-Dené languages, except for Apache with 12,000 speakers, and Navajo with 149,000 speakers, are seriously endangered or on the verge of extinction. Navajo, the largest Na-Dené language spoken in Arizona and New Mexico, is one of the few North American Indian languages with a growing number of speakers.
If you are interested to see your native language/dialect be featured here.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

If you need pronunciation, I am a native speaker of Navajo and English. I can help with other Athabaskan languages also. Let me know! I rarely say this but, díí nąąlkidígíí nįzhǫ́nį́go 'íinilaa dóó nįzhǫ́nį́go saad 'ádaat'éii bee hadéínídzíí'.

It makes me wonder if there would be an abbreviation or acronym for them. Like maybe 9 would be shortened to “needik’eebi” or something like that.

It seems they simply dont have these numbers so they talk like six added 2 to eight. Some numbers in indoeuropean languages were like this in the past
I don't think I've ever been more impressed with someone's ability to pronounce words... awesome job!
Dene Zhatie speaker (South slavey) here, and you did amazing.
It’s amazing to see the Ket language, in the middle of Siberia, still has so many similarities and words in common with the Na-Dené languages and with Navajo in particular, especially when you consider the thousands of years and the geographical distance between them. Makes you wonder how many other languages in the past have been spoken in Siberia with links to Na-Dené and other Native American language families after they came to North America, to see which groups of people stayed behind and which others kept moving eastward until they crossed into North America.
That was extremely impressive how you pronounced all of those languages!! You’ve left me in awe 💖
Great work again on the pronunciation Andy
You have a nice Navajo pronounciation ,Andy! And btw great video! And can I ask you something?😊

I wish in Both the US and Canada, they will ad native American language in their curriculum because they are the real language. The only peoblem is that they need more teachers and linguist to teach about that.

Maybe because they went exctint soon in European conquest, and they hadn't time to record everything, and some vocabulary was simply forgetten, lost... Or maybe because they didn't use decimals, it happens with some languages... Maybe
Ya'at'eeh doo ahehee!
These languages sound interesting with their breaks in sounds
So interesting. 1-4 are almost alike in most of the languages
Pretty good pronunciation of Tlingit. The only thing that gives the person away as non-native, apart from the rhythm of speech is the U sound, which is like the oo in "cook' or "hook' but shorter.
nice video ❤❤💪
AMAZING
In the Americas we have Na Dene and in Belarus they have На Дне (If you get this reference you are a real one)

Dené-Caucasian superfamily has ever been proposed in the past as well. It linked Dené-Yeniseian with North Caucasian and Sino-Tibetan. That means it’s distantly related to Chinese. But now this proposal is rejected. Na-Dené peoples seem to be new settlers in America followed by Eskimo-Aleuts and Europeans because their languages are spoken in both Asia and America while the other indegenous groups in Central and South America, e.g. Aztecan, Mayan, Quechua, are ancient settlers, possibly prior to emergence of human language.

The Na-Dene languages word for "old" is remarkably similar to many Indo-European words (like Latin "senex" and Sanskrit "sana") for it.
Is it just me or do these numerals seem a lot more complex than other families, like Indo-European?

Damn never knew the Navajo language is hard and maybe long ago my ancestors maybe did speak same language.
Kinda insane that Navajo is related to languages from Alaska and northwestern Canada.

This channel already has a few videos on those languages, both as a group and as a few individual languages. I'm sure more in-depth videos will come soon.
Why not have a language of naitce American speaking of letter, and words on app, especially about taking class foe us natives to have
in the Navajo/Diné migration story, we came from the East & walked West. we passed the Mississippi & the Great Plains. many people is said to have joined the Navajo when they walked West. when they came to the Continental Divide in the US, many groups separated from the Navajo & went their own ways. 2 large groups also went North & South. the South was known as a place that will destroy you, so the group that went South were never seen again. the North is considered a place where the dead travel. our ceremonies do not work in the North because we need the stars & constellations. the Northern group was persuaded to return, but many refused & stayed. some peoples also kept going North, & they were never seen again. the Navajo eventually found Dinétah, or Navajo lands. a prophecy says that one day, our siblings from the North & South will return & all live in Dinétah. another also says that when all Diné langauges befome extinct; when you hear the world say, "Navajo is no longer around," it will be a sign of the end of times. 4 horses will wander to the highest points around around the world, & they will call to each other, signaling the end of times.
Wooosh.
One fact the Na Dene Languages like a Turkic languages

No, it has nothing to do with Arabic at all, Perhaps you felt it because you heard the sound of the qaf and the sound of the" ' " in the middle and at the end of the words, but in Arabic it is not as common as in these languages but rather it's few, and also the words in arabic are not very long
