Other comments: Beaver (Danezaa ZaageɁ) or Dane-za is spoken by approximately 160 out of 1,300 ethnic population in British Columbia and Alberta provinces: Chateh (Assumption) on Hay river, and Prophet river south of Fort Nelson, Canada.

Beaver has a decimal system similar to that of Chipewyan, the numbers 'six'='three on three' and 'eight' = 'four on four'.

Note that the Phonetic transcriptions between IPA and phonetic Americanist ː

1. ch = IPA [tʃ ], voiceless palatal fricative.

2. j = IPA [ʒ], voiced interdentally fricative.

3. lh = IPA [ɬ], voiced lateral fricative.

4. sh = IPA [ʃ], voiceless post-alveolar fricative.

5. tɬʰ = IPA [tɬʰ], voiceless lateral affricate.

6. tɬʼ = IPA [tɬʼ], voiceless ejective affricate.

7. ts = IPA [ts], voiceless dental affricate.

8. tsʼ =IPA [tsʼ], voiceless ejective affricate

9. Under-hooked vowels are nasal vowelsː a̜, e̜, i̜, o̜ and u̜ = IPA ã, ẽ, ĩ, õ and ũ.

10. There are five full vowelsː i, e. a. o, and u. In orthography these are represented

by ii, e, aa, o, and uu. The three reduced vowels are represented by i = IPA [ɪ],

a = IPA [ɜ], and u = IPA [ʊ].
