Dane-zaa language

Dane-zaa, known in the language as Dane-ẕaa Ẕáágéʔ (syll: ᑕᓀᖚ ᖚᗀᐥ), formerly known as Beaver, is an Athabascan language of western Canada. It means "people-regular language." About one-tenth of the Dane-zaa people speak the language.

Beaver is closely related to the languages spoken by neighbouring Athabaskan groups, such as Slavey, Sekani, Tsuu T’ina, Chipewyan, and Kaska.
