This question and answer is intended as a semi-catch all question about "Native American Language(s)." First: There is no single Native American Language; there are around 4,000 tribes with unique languages, and some tribes have different clan dialects that further complicate the languages. Second: Since there is no single language in use, any questions about that language is a question that cannot be answered as there is not enough information to answer it; however most do not know that there is no such language so it is not appropriate to simply trash the question because of that. So, if your question gets redirected here please ask it again and be more specific about the language you are interested in (Most languages are defined by the Tribe name, such as: Lakota / Dakota / Sioux, Cherokee, Arapaho, etc.)

ajéí

Means a heart not just heart.

Shijéí- my heart, nijéí- your heart, bijéí- her, his, it's heart, nihijéí- their heart and so on. There is also a plural and dual possessive.

In non medical settings ajéídíshjool is more often used. It useles for all the same particles in show possession.

In Navajo body parts such as heart or eye must always be in the possessive. The word " heart" does not exist on it's own. They are inalienable. The marks above the vowels mean they are high tone.

The Natchez Indians spoke the Natchez language, which is a language isolate, meaning that there were no other closely related languages spoken. The Natchez never called it "Natchez", but rather we:Lhaki:sa or 'the language'.

You cannot translate European names into a Native American or First Nations language, as they have no meaning to translate. Native names always have a meaning, an example being my name; Tikibish, meaning spring water. If you were to enter your name into a language converter and translate it into ANY language, it would always sound like Micheal.
