/How to Name Animals in the Navajo Language

ather than doing each of these animals as individual words of the day, I figured I'd speed up the process and cover a lot of animals all at once. So this is how you name some of the most common animals on the Navajo reservation. The words range from birds to insects to reptiles, and to mammals. Here is the listing of animals included in this video: Atsá (Eagle) Atseełtsooí (Red-tailed Hawk) Ayání (Bison or American Buffalo) Béégashii (Cow) Bį̨įh (Deer) Chaa' (Beaver) Ch'ał (Frog or Toad) Ch'ééh Digháhii (Turtle or Desert Tortoise) Dahsání (Porcupine) Deenásts'aa' (Ram) Dibé (Sheep) Dlǫ́ǫ́' (Prairie Dog) Dloziłgaii (Squirrel) Dólii (Bluebird) Dóola (Bull) Dzééh (Elk) Gáagii (Crow or Raven) Gah or Gałbáhí (Cottontail Rabbit) Gólízhii (Skunk) Haazéísts'ósí (Chipmunk) Iich'ąhii (Moth) Jaa'abaní (Bat) Jádí (Antelope) K'aalógii (Butterfly) Jeeshóó' (Turkey Buzzard) Łéécha̜a̜'í (Dog) Łí̜í̜' (Horse)
