Dane-zaa, known in the language as Dane-zaa Ẕáágéʔ (syll: ᑕᓀᖚ ᖚᗀᐥ), formerly known as Beaver, is an Athabascan language of western Canada. It means "people-regular language." About one-tenth of the Dane-zaa people speak the language.
Beaver is closely related to the languages spoken by neighboring Athabaskan groups, such as Slavey, Sekani, Tsuu T’ina, Chipewyan, and Kaska.
