Western Apache

Western Apache

Western Apache refers to the similar Apache peoples living primarily in east central Arizona. Goodwin (1938) claims that the Western Apache can be divided into five groups based on dialect:

* Cibecue,
* Northern Tonto,
* Southern Tonto,
* San Carlos, and
* White Mountain.

Other researchers do not find any linguistic evidence for five groups, but rather three main varieties with several subgroupings:

* San Carlos,
* White Mountain, and
* Dilzhe'e (Tonto).

Notable Western Apache

*Jay Tavare, actor (White Mountain)
*Michael Minjarez, actor & Apache dialect supervisor
