Hear Navaho Spoken! Ádahooníłígíí by NavajoWOTD.com

Ádahooníłígíí by NavajoWOTD.com

In the period before Ádahooníłígíí, written Navajo was available in sparsely translated versions of the Christian Bible and parts of a Navajo dictionary. Throughout its circulation, the editors Robert W. Young and William Morgan, Sr. collected Navajo words until the publication’s end. Their collections went on to become part of the definitive Navajo language text The Navajo Language: A Grammar and Colloquial Dictionary. 
Ádahooníłígíí remains one of the only all-Navajo language periodicals of the previous century.
