Navajo Language Services in the UK

About Our Navajo Services

Navajo is a Southern Athabaskan language of the Na-Dene family, spoken by the Navajo Nation across Arizona, New Mexico and Utah in the southwestern United States. It has more speakers than any other Native American language north of Mexico, with estimates in the range of 150,000 to 170,000, though fluency among younger generations has declined and revitalisation programmes, including immersion schools, are working to reverse that. Navajo is a tonal language with a famously intricate verb system. It is written in a Latin-based alphabet developed in the twentieth century. During the Second World War, Navajo code talkers serving with the US Marines used the language as the basis of a battlefield code that was never broken.
