What a beautiful language and what a beautiful view!!! 💚

While I appreciate the mission of this channel it is a shame that there is still no subtitles for many of these videos that feature a non-Indo-European language.

Beautiful! Thank you ❤

Beautiful surroundings and language!

surprisingly sound similar to my native avar language spoken in dagestan, russia

What a beautiful voice!

Qué idioma tan bonito.

I don't know, but I hear a Turkic or Mongolic influence in this language, but I guess because they have lived in North America for so long that it's hard to tell because it doesn't take long for one language to depart from its roots.

Not really an Asian influence, but seeing as Native Americans crossed into the Americas from Siberia, some similarities are probably true.

I do- there are some eerie north eastern Indian (As in the country India) similarities..with the Manipuri, Mizo and Naga languages of India.....and that is no where close to America of course. We are connected somewhere in common.

I would say that her accent doesn't appear to have any English traces in it whatsoever, however I guess you're referring to the pauses in her speech. My best guess is she's simply trying to remember the words. Perhaps she doesn't speak Navajo much in her daily life but I definitely think she's a native speaker, not a learner. I'm very happy to have over 7 minutes to listen to and I'm grateful to her for having talked for so long! I know it's a very difficult language but this has inspired me to learn it, because this lady was determined to speak to us in her language and because the beautiful landscapes there are ones I'd like to visit.

@robertooliveira8809 great observation on listening to similarities. You mention "adoshem." In Navajo 'adoo' is said when you are saying, "and then..." She said adoo shima... "and then my mother/mom..." In Navajo, "shi" means "my". Ma is universal for Mom, mum or mama, so "Shima" means my mom. "Adoo"..is she is adding information to her statement ("and then"). My navajo is choppy but I can understand most of what she is saying. I did not listen to all but from what i heard, she is generally speaking of herself and her family. Her clans and where she is originally from Fort Defiance, AZ (Tse ho Tso) and where she lives now, Flagstaff, AZ (Kinlani). She also mentioned her husband and what she studied in higher education. She mentioned she likes to speak Navajo and also to speak with others although it is difficult. She finds it pleasing to keep trying. She stresses the beauty and complexity of the language. she said several times it is hard/tough.

english is pretty rich actually. over a millennium of being invaded by other countries has given it thousands of loanwords which lend themselves to incredibly subtle shades of meaning that a lot of other languages do not have. the problem with modern english isn't english itself, it's the education system
