- ahwééh is Western Navajo, gohwééh is Standard Navajo. —Stephen (Talk) 08:36, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
- On seeing the word ahwééh my first thought was that it sounded remarkably like the Levantine Arabic pronunciation of قهوة, rather than Spanish café... פֿינצטערניש (talk) 14:11, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, it is quite close. Navajo does not have the sound /f/, so "hw" is used. —Stephen (Talk) 02:13, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
