Dene language

Dene language refers to the group of related Indigenous languages spoken by the Dene people across northern Canada and parts of Alaska. These languages belong to the Athabaskan language family and are characterized by unique sounds and structures. Dene languages play a vital role in preserving the cultural identity, history, and traditions of the Dene communities. Efforts are underway to revitalize and maintain these languages, which are important for passing down heritage and fostering resilience among Indigenous populations. Recognizing and respecting Dene languages supports broader cultural understanding and Indigenous rights.
