yáʼátʼééh is hello

-- ya'a (High tone with a glottal stop) T'eeh ( T holding breath and high tone ee as in "met" but longer and a h sound at the end- it's hard to hear)

y�¡�¼�¡t�¼�©�©h --is hello in Navajo

The marks over the vowels make them HIGH tone, Navajo is tonal. The marks between the two "a"s is a consonant called a glottal stop (like in English Uh'oh). The T' is different than a T is a way we don't do in English. Hold your breath in your throat and explosively say a T sound. T and T' are different in Navajo
If by "Dene" you mean Dine Bizaad (Navajo), the word yá'át'ééh is used for hello, good afternoon or good evening.

If you really mean Dene (Chipewyan) the word hóʔą is a greeting used to welcome someone to your dwelling (literally = there's room). The term é-kla-netʔé-a means "how are you" and is used as a greeting.
