How do you say rabbit in Navajo how do you say buffalo in Navajo how do you say coyote in Navajo how do you say eagle in Navajo how do you say owl in Navajo?

Answer 1

Rabbit in Dinébizaad (Navajo language) is: gah

(the h is said. ga would be different. The a is as in "father")

cottontail is: gałbáhí

jackrabbit is: gahtsoh

Owl is: néʼéshjaaʼ

coyote is: mąʼii

buffalo is : ayání

eagle is : atsá

The marks over vowels mean thay are high tone not stress of accent. It can change meaning so it is important.

The ' between is a consonant glottal stop. We have it in uh'oh.

The e is said as in "met"

two aa are held longer than one. This changes meaning.

Two ii i said like in "bee"

ts is like is "it's"

the mark under the a makes it nasalized. We don't do this but in French the word "bon" is a nasalized o.

The l with a line through it is a sound that is in Welsh (LL) but not English. Put the tongue in the l position and don't use your voice and blow air around the sides of your tongue.
