Answer 2

In many native American languages, kinship terms (those used for family relationships) must always have an element expressing "my . . ." or "his . . . " or "your . . .".

For example, in the Natick language (a member of the Algonquian language family) used by the Massachusetts, Narragansett and Wampanoag tribes you would have to say wuttaunoh (his daughter) nuttaunes (my daughter) or kuttaunoh (your daughter).

In Blackfoot (another Algonquian language), my daughter is ni-tun'.

In Arapaho (yet another Algonquian language) my daughter is notóóne.

Answer 3

In Navajo it is: ashkii

"My little boy" is: she'ashkii yázhí

There are hundreds of completely unrelated American Indian languages. Navajo is in the Southern Athabascan family. Apache is related to it as Spanish is to Italian. In Jicarilla it is: ishki'į

Answer 4

The Native American word for daughter is "wahine." Just make sure you don't go around calling everyone's daughter that, unless you want to end up in a world of trouble.
