Best Answer

In South America there are several tribal groups whose name is spelled with an X, using historic Spanish or Portuguese pronunciation. An example is the Xavante tribe of Brazil, where the X stands for the sound sh (so it's Sha-van-tay).

There is no Canadian or United States tribe whose name starts with the letter X, but in Mexico there are the Xixime and Ximpece; in Central America are the Xinca; in Colombia there are the Xiriguana; in Brazil the Xavante, Xerente and Xucuru. In most cases the x represents Spanish or Portuguese "sh".
