Morphological differences between White Mountain Apache and the other Apachean languages include both divergences in the phonological shape of morphemes due to regular sound change and the existence of mor- phemes unique to White Mountain Apache. This article briefly reviews some lexical differences between White Mountain Apache and Navajo and then examines differences in stem form, clitics, conjunctions, interrogatives, inde- pendent pronouns, and prefixes. The primary focus of the comparison is Navajo, but some attention is paid to other Apachean and Northern Athabaskan lan- guages. The article concludes by emphasizing the importance of Apachean dia- lects as ethnic boundary markers.
