Yavapai is an Upland Yuman language, spoken by Native Americans in western Arizona. There are 4 dialects: Kwevkepaya, Wipukpaya, Tolkepaya, and Yavepe. Linguistic studies of the Tolkepaya (Western), Wipukepa (Verde Valley), and Yavepe (Prescott) dialects have been published (Mithun 1999:578).

The rate of mutual comprehension between Yavapai and Havasupai-Hualapai is similar to that between Mohave and Maricopa (Biggs 1957).

Unlike in Havasupai and Hualapai, postaspirated stops cannot appear in word-initial position (Shaterian 1983:215).
