A MUST SEE if you are serious about learning the Cherokee language:
The Cherokee Alphabet
and Pronunciation Guide
Cherokee/English
Names
The first column is the English word, with the second
column being the Tsalagi (Cherokee) word. I cannot guarantee accuracy here,
only that I have done the very best that I could. Of course it is inevitable
that the Eastern as well as the Western dialects are intermingled. Any additions,
or Corrections will be gratefully accepted and will be recognized
here.
