I'm new here, but I've been fascinated by Native American history for a long time and find myself drawn to Native Americans from the SW United States, specifically Apache.
I apologize in advance if my question/request comes off as being disrespectful, because I want to be clear that I don't intend it to be that way.
I read everything I can get my hands on regarding Apache history including but not limited to Ball, Sweeney, Opler, Goodwin, Basso, etc... and I find that I want to pronounce names and words correctly while reading and even more importantly when talking to someone in person about my interest and the things I've read.
Would it be appropriate for me to start making a list of words, names, etc... here that I want to be able to pronounce correctly and have those of you who know the correct pronunication weigh in?
I would like to see the pronunciations done phonetically if at all possible to help me get in the habit of saying the names correctly.
Just as an example....
Chiricahua (cheer-uh-CAH-wah)
I won't follow through with this unless folks here say it's not disrespectful and are willing to help.
Thank you.
Paul
