What is the Native American word for the color black?

Question

Wiki User · Answer

There is no "Native American" language. There are hundreds of languages in dozens of languages families. Many are as different as English, Russian, Hebrew, Hindi, Hakka and Turkish. Horse is all these languages is no more than 500 years old. Many used words related to the word for dog in their language.

In one language in the American southwest, Navajo, a language in the Southern Athabascan family, red horse is:

łį́į́ʼ łichííʼ

The first word means horse and the second means "it is red"

This is a very hard set of words for most English speakers. The L with a line through it is a sound that is similar to one in Welsh. It is a aspirated unvoiced L. The marks under the Is make them nasal as though there was a N at the end. The marks over make them high tone. Two vowels together mean you hold the sound longer.

There is actually no such language as "Indian". There are more than 450 different languages spoken in India. If you are talking about Native American languages, there are more than 700.

If you would like a translation, you would need to specify which Indian language you are talking about.
