This practical, easy-to-use Navajo dictionary is intended primarily
for Navajo children learning to read and write the language in
bilingual classrooms. It presents over 1,500 noun and 330 verb
entries, all selected because they are words used in and around the
school. But the audience for this book has always been larger than
just youngsters: it has proven useful for anyone wanting to learn
Navajoaadults and children alike.
For each of the thirty-six letters in the Navajo alphabet, this
dictionary provides first a listing of nouns followed by verbs. For
most of the nouns and all of the verbs, an illustration is also
included to aid in learning by providing a visual reference. While
the dictionary is organized using the Navajo alphabet, the index
gives non-native speakers a complete list of all the English
translations from Navajo.
Originally published in 1983 as part of a Ramah Navajo School
Board, Inc., initiative to develop bilingual educational materials
in the Navajo language, this book has remained in print and helped
an entire generation of students learn Navajo. Its re-publication
by the University of New Mexico Press, in cooperation with the
Ramah Navajo School Board, Inc., helps fulfill each institution's
respective mission of promoting cultural literary.
