Navajo Indians

If this is something you have dreamed, then I would ask in what way did you see or how was it being used. But for the most part it is definitely a weapon of distruction. Be careful someone or something is out to rip you apart

They don't really have a nickname. You could say "Navajo" is their nickname. It comes from a Tewa Pueblo Indian name for them. Their name for themselves in Navajo is Diné (two syllables, second one high tone, "di-ne" - i as is "bit", e as in "met").

Sometimes in early times the Spanish confused the Apache who are their linguistic cousins. The Apaches were also known to the Spanish by many names for different groups and also early on as Coyotero, Querechos or Llanero.

To confuse things even more, the unrelated Comanches, Mohaves, Hualapais, and Yavapais were sometimes known as Apaches as well.

Yes it is real.

The geologic structure, known as Black Mesa is named for a dark layer of volcanic rock and coal and is part of the Colorado Plateau in the Southwestern USA. Parts of this plateau, and various locations on it, called Black Mesa, are found in the four corners region of the Southwest: New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado.

Black Mesa, the game, is real also. All you need is a copy of any source engine game on steam (See the link below).

The best place to find out where one can purchase the Navajo Times is on the newspaper's official website. The website has a 'locations' section which allows the user to enter their state or city of residence and find out where the closest store that sells the Navajo Times lies.

In conclusion, the Navajo people after much adversity in the late 19th century with the war and Long Walk and interment in Bosque Redondo and then again in the 1930s with the livestock reductions the Navajo have emerged in the 21st century as the largest tribe with the largest land base. The Navajo Nation today has over 300,000 enrolled members with a land base of 27,000 square miles (the size of Holland and Belgium combined) in the middle of their traditional four sacred mountains. The majority of the Navajo speak the Navajo language. The Navajo religion is alive and well. The Navajo Nation has newspaper, radio, a tribal college, Navajo language schools, police, courts an elected government and many tribal enterprises. They have the largest irrigated farm in the US producing Navajo Pride brand products. In short, the Navajo Nation is well positioned to succeed in the 21st century.

If by lair you mean a den or home of an animal then it would depend on the animal. A bear's home or den would be: shash bighan, a wolf den: mąʼiitsoh bighan. Bighan means his/her/it's home, bi is the pronoun.

A cave would be tsé'ą́ą́d.

The marks above vowels mean high tone. The comma sort of thing under the a makes in nasalized. The mark up high like a apostrophe is a glottal stop consonant. The ts is said like in English its . The gh is a g with more aspiration in your throat, sort of like in Scottish loch.

The marks over the vowels in the second word ( which means small or little) mean it is said with a high tone. Vowels without are low tone.

Often it changes the meaning of the word if you change them. Example; hai = winter , háí= who.

When vowels are doubled it means you hold the sound longer.

You sort of say this aash-kee ya-zhi. The second word higher.

The zh sound is like in the middle of pleasure.

The answers you have given here are in Scots, not in Gàidhlig (Scots Gaelic). The correct answer to the question asked here is very simply - 'Madainn mhath'.

Navajo is not Indo-European. It is an Athabascan language. There is Northern, Southern and Pacific Athabascan. There are about 31 northern, 7 pacific and 7 southern. Navajo is Southern. It is related to the 6 different Apache languages. The Athabascan family is thought to be part of a larger group the Na-Dene group. There may be a link with that group to a Siberian languages called Yeniseian.

In any case it is very , very different than any Indo European language. It has many more consonants, 33 in all. There are four vowels but they can be held longer or shorter and also be nasalized. It is tonal like Chinese, and Tibetan and Burmese. It has low, high, rising and falling. It is subject object verb, like Japanese or Turkish. It is a fusional, polysynthetic, nominative-accusative head-marking language. It is very "verb heavy" with few nouns. Many nouns are inflected to show possesion. There is an unusual 4th person. The verb has 7 modes and 12 aspect and subaspects. For example if you did someting for and indefinate amount of time it congujates differeently than it it is over and over or attempted, There are 11 classificatory "handling" verb stems that show if the verb is dealing with mushy stuff or large round things or flat stiff things and so on. There are degrees of animation so that it is not gramamical for a less animate or aware enity to act on a more animate thing. So the rock can't hit you. You get yourself hit.

There is much more but by this same amount you can see how very different it is from English, Russian, Italian, Hindi or Persian.
