As language preservation efforts go, I think this one’s a keeper. Star Wars is getting the Navajo treatment. Or should I say Diné? because that’s what its speakers call it.
But there’s something even better than Star Wars — there’s also verbs. Yeah, there’s some really intense verb stuff going on. And then to round everything out, I bring up the Code Talkers. A fun show.

I remember reading somewhere that the Germans had studied a lot of Native American languages but Diné wasn't one of them. Apparently Apache wasn't either since they are closely related.
