Vocabulary Words in Native American Languages: Moronahua

We have included ten 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.

If you need to know a Moronahua word that is not currently on our page, you can take part in our American Indian words fundraiser or visit our main Moronahua language site for more free resources.
