Variations of Athabaskan - Mescalero/Chiricahua kinda shared the same language. There are 6 variations of the Apache language. Many english words have 3 or 4 interchangeable Apache counterparts.
Remember the wind-talkers in WW2? Their languange and style of speaking was so similar to the Navajo that Mescaleros were brought in with them. Many sylables are actually pronounced by breathing, not speaking.
