The native American tribes collectively known today as Apaches are an Athapaskan people, speaking a language classified as Southern Athapaskan; they are related to tribes in the far north (in Alaska, the Yukon, British Colombia and the Pacific coast of Canada). They are also closely related to the Navajo. It is extremely likely that the entire group represents a single migration wave from Asia into the Americas, part of which remained in the north while the ancestors of the Apaches moved further south. They call themselves various forms of nde, dene, ende, dine or na-dine - all these mean "The People".

The Aztecs speak a Uto-Aztecan language called Nahuatl; they are very distantly related linguistically to the Utes, Bannocks, Shoshones, Paiutes and "Digger Indians", but they have absolutely no connection at all with the Apache tribes.
