Cherokee Syllabary
          Learning the Cherokee Language

















  

   The Cherokee alphabet is a syllabary of 85
   characters in which each letter in a word stands
   for a whole syllable. There are six vowels, an "s"           sound and the remaining seventy eight symbols            represent a combination of consonant and vowel.          The English sounds for: BFJPRVXTh are non-               existent. The Cherokee language includes a vowel         which does not exist in English. The vowel is                decidedly tonal and is pronounced like the "u" in           nut, nasalized.
   The Tuolumne Band of Cherokee Indians are
   involved in preserving their aboriginal languages.            Our dedicated   members are working diligently to         ensure the Cherokee language survives.
   Cherokee Language Classes will be starting up             again in the near future.
