Slavey (also Slave) (pronounced [ slevi ] ) is an Athabaskan language, which is spoken by the Slavey Indians in Canada. There are North Slavey ( Sahtu ) and South Slavey ( Deh Cho )

In older literature, the name of the language slave was called; however, caused the associations together with the pronunciation of the homonym slave (the last e should be spoken) switching to Slavey.

The language can be written using the syllabary of the Cree or the Latin alphabet.

Slavey was the language that was used by the fictional band in the Canadian television series North of 60.
