Western Apache refers to the similar Apache peoples living primarily in east central Arizona. Goodwin (1938) claims that the Western Apache can be divided into five groups based on dialect:
- Cibecue,
- Northern Tonto,
- Southern Tonto,
- San Carlos, and
- White Mountain.
Other researchers do not find any linguistic evidence for five groups, but rather three main varieties with several subgroupings:
- San Carlos,
- White Mountain, and
- Dilzhe'e (Tonto).
