Navajo-English Dictionary,
By
This review is from: Navajo-English Dictionary (Hippocrene Dictionary) (Paperback)
This is a Navajo-English dictionary only--the entries are listed only in Navajo, with English translation. So unless you already know some Navajo, it may not be very useful to you. Different verb forms are listed separately, which makes this a very handy book if you're trying to translate a Navajo text.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Navajo-English Dictionary (Hippocrene Dictionary) (Paperback)
Having known only English as my primary language this book helps the laymen learn the basis of translating the Najavo culture and language into English and back again.Extremely detailed with notations on pronunciation, verbage and usage of slang. Having know a Navajo Native American for a while, this book helped me understand the subtlties of the Navajo Language and Culture. Nothing compares to a real teacher, but this book does help. Buy it!

Too many illegible headwords!,
By kimko379 (Uji near Kyoto, Japan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Navajo-English Dictionary (Hippocrene Dictionary) (Paperback)
The print of too many headwords is just illegible! I hope that the publisher will re-make the printing plates.
