ejedelé

ejedelé = chocolate in Chipewyan

Most of the World languages borrowed their words for “chocolate” from the Nahuatl “chocolātl” through the Spanish “chocolate”.
Only a few have their own native words. One of them is the Chipewyan language. It is a fascinating language of one of the indigenous peoples from Canada. I love the fact that it uses Latin script but it “decorates” the letters with abundanace of diacritics. The “Chipewyan language” in Chipewyan is “Dënësųłinë́”.
