The word itself does not come from any Athabaskan language; it is an anglicized version of the Cree Indian name for Lake Athabasca in Canada. Athabaskan languages are spoken throughout the interior of Alaska and the interior of northwestern Canada. There are Athabaskan people in northern California and southern Oregon. The Navajo and Apache people of the southwest also speak Athabaskan languages.

Below is a list of all of the Athabaskan languages and their geographic locations. The Apachean languages are spoken in the American Southwest, Texas, Oklahoma, and Mexico.
