What is the Navajo spelling of the word Small?

The Navajo Word for small or little is "yazzie", as in dibeh-yazzie (sheep-little) = lamb.

The standard spelling in the orthography that is now taught is:

"yázhí". The marks are high tone marks.

Navajo is a tonal language and needs tones to be correct. The zh sound is somewhere between z and the sound in the middle of the Word "pleasure".

shí ashkii yázhí- "my little boy"
