Thought this would be fun to learn the word for chicken and chicken things in a couple of languages feel free to add on :) Yes I'm native ;)

Cherokee: ᏥᏔᎦ Tsi-Ta-Ga
Lakota (sioux) KOKEYAHULA/ koh - kay - yah - hue - lah
Spanish: Pollo
 
Fun! These would also be funny name ideas

Pollo is the word for cooked chicken in Spanish. For the live ones, it's Gallo (Guy-o) for rooster and Gallina (rhymes with hyena) for hen :)
 
In Tlingit

káax': grouse, female or spruce hen, also used for chicken (n)

I don't speak Tlingit. Close as I can get phonetically is:

K(h) a' a x'

So i'm thinking it would be like 2 syllables. Caw (like a crow sound) and axe, but I'm not 100% sure.

FYI- Tlingit is a Native Alaskan tribe in SE Alaska.
 
I was so surprised to see Tlingit mentioned on BYC! I'm 1/4 Tlingit, and I have no idea how to explain the pronunciation. Closest I can get, start by imitating a crow coughing up a hair ball. I have to ask my family how to pronounce it. Thanks, Imp!
