Origin: A borrowing from Haida, combined with an English element. Etymons: Haida náa, Tlingit naa, English dene, Athapaskan dene.

Etymology: < na , representing the cognate words Haida náa to dwell and Tlingit naa tribe + dene, representing their presumed cognate Athapaskan dene people; coined by Edward Sapir (see quot. 1915 at sense A.). Compare Dene adj.² and n.³ O.E.D. Suppl. (1976) gives the pronunciation as (nā·dəne·) /ˈnɑːdəˈneɪ/.

A. adj.

Designating a North American Indian language group including the Eyak, Athapaskan and Tlingit languages, and (in some classifications) Haida, or the languages within it. Also: of or relating to the peoples who speak these languages. Cf. Athabaskan adj., Haida adj.

1957 Encycl. Brit. V. 138/1 The Nadene languages, probably the most specialized of all, are tone languages, and, while presenting a superficially ‘polysynthetic’ aspect, are built up, fundamentally, of monosyllabic elements of prevailingly nominal significance.

1965 Canad. Jrnl. Linguistics 10 96 This would be exemplified, hypothetically, by a discovery that Haida does not belong with the other Na-Dene languages.

1992 New Scientist 22 Feb. 16/1 Joseph Greenberg, a prominent linguist.., argued that there had been just three migrations: two were recent, forming the Eskimo-Aleut and Nadene populations, who live mostly on the northern rim of the continent.
