Talking Dictionaries: Navajo Verb Modes
Talking Dictionaries: Navajo Verb Modes
This website was developed by the Navajo Language Academy and Swarthmore College. The Academy tries to meet every summer for Navajo language workshops and experts on the language meet with Linguist Ted Fernald and Web Designer Jeremy Fahringer to expand the Navajo talking dictionary.
My contribution included helping to input translations into the website’s spreadsheet after gathering the information from elder Navajo members. My basic Navajo understanding helped me catch and correct errors that may have otherwise been overlooked.
