How do you say famliy in chippewa language?

There isn't a single word for "family" in Ojibwe (Chippewa). Instead, you would use different words depending on the specific family members you're referring to:

* Nish:: (pronounced "neesh") means "my family" (specifically, close family like parents, siblings, and children)

* Waabooz (pronounced "wah-booz") means "sibling"

* Nii-gii-naan (pronounced "nee-gee-naan") means "mother"

* Biindige (pronounced "bin-di-geh") means "father"

* Wikwed (pronounced "wi-kwed") means "child"

You could also use phrases to describe family:

* Nish wiindigooyan (pronounced "neesh win-di-goo-yan") means "my relatives"

* Nish niiginaang (pronounced "neesh nee-gee-naan") means "my mothers" (plural)

It's important to remember that there are many different dialects of Ojibwe, so the exact pronunciation and spelling of these words may vary depending on the specific dialect.
