Denesųłįné vs kiyânaw Mentor

This Denesuline Language App was created using the Luechogh Tue (Cold Lake) way of speaking (dialect). The Roman Orthography used was adopted in early 2000 by the Daghida Project, which is the way we’ve chosen to spell the words. There are many ways of saying one thing by different people and words have not been standardized in our community. This app was created because our members are scattered all over the world and they could have access to our language in the written form and pronunciation. This is only a beginning. This is our gift to you. Enjoy!

kiyânaw Mentor is a language app built around a simple idea: learners ask how to say something, and mentors from their community answer in their own voice, in their own dialect. This reduces the workload on our language speakers long-term by allowing new learners to access old answers. Ask and search Fill in the "How do I say ___?" or search through phrases that have already been answered. Every answer allows for audio from a mentor from your community. Any dialect The platform allows any dialect and community to begin to build a "language bundle" for the future. Using only a phone If you're a mentor, you can record and submit audio responses for your community. No special equipment, no extra steps. Playlists Work on the phrases you are trying to add to your daily life, add new ones as needed, remove old ones when they're not. The content in kiyânaw Mentor comes from the community. It grows when you contribute, and it's there whenever you need it.
