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: Cibeque, Northern Tonto, Southern Tonto, San Carlos, and White Mountain. Other researchers do not find any linguistic evidence for five groups, but rather only three distinct varieties: San Carlos, White Mountain, and Tonto.

Western Apache also refers to the Apachean language spoken by these people. Western Apache is related to other Southern Athabaskan languages like Navajo, Chiricahua Apache, Mescalero Apache, Lipan Apache, Plains Apache, and Jicarilla Apache.
