Vocabulary Words in Native American Languages: Achumawi
We have included twenty basic words, enough to give you a feeling for each language. All the nouns are singular and all
the verbs are 3rd person singular ("he or she sings") because many Native American languages don't have a separate infinitive ("to sing")
the way English and French do.
You can find a broader selection of Achumawi words in our online picture glossaries.
If you would like to know a word that is not included in any of these wordlists, you can take part in our
American Indian translation fundraiser or visit our main
Achumawi language site for more free resources.
Thanks for your interest in Native American languages!
