* Lakota: *wakháŋhepi* (This is often used to describe something sacred or beautiful in a spiritual sense.)
* Dakota: *wasta* (This word is more general and can mean good, nice, or beautiful)
* Nakota: *wasta* (Similar to Dakota, *wasta* is commonly used for good, nice, or beautiful)
So, while there isn't one single, universally agreed-upon word that translates *exactly* to "beautiful," *wasta* is a good general option that will be understood across Dakota and Nakota dialects. For Lakota, *wakháŋhepi* is a good option when referring to something with a deeper beauty.
