I have bought a book about this Native American language of the Navajo tribe (the language in their language is called DINE' BIZHAAD).
I am going to arizona in May to their reservation to do some research on their language. Does anybody in this forum has more info on their language?

Here's a web page with a short Spanish-navajo dictionary. Its definitely a good start on the vocabulary for the language. I would recommend downloading it since the javascript doesn't quite work on the site.

On google, under the book section, some of the Navajo verb books are available for preview.

And also look on archive.org and do a search for navajo language materials. There is an old grammar book for the language and some navajo bible chapters and navajo stories available for download. There's children stories in Navajo on youtube.

Last but not least, the audio for the Navajo new testament.

If you do take up the language, keep us posted on your progress.
