A Collection of English-Cherokee
............................
............
Here is a collection of words in English, and their Cherokee
translation. No, not ALL the words in English are here, nor all the words
in Cherokee. Please read this guide. Be aware of dialect differences in
pronunciations. These have been collected from a number of sources, in
books, sites, conversations and letters. If you have items that can be
added to this list, please
me, and I will add them. Wa do. :-)
Punctuation & Pronunciation
' means syllable is accented.
? between syllable.
: means vowel is held longer.
* pronounce carefully because it can change the meaning
of the word.
Vowel Sounds
a, as a in father, or short as a in rival
e, as a in hate, or short as e in met
i, as i in pique, or short as i in pit
o, as o in note, approaching aw as in law
u, as oo in fool, or short as u in pull v, as u in but,
Cherokee Syllabary Pronunciation Key
The Cherokee alphabet is written in the syllabary form.
A syllabary is an alphabet in which each letter in a word stands for a
whole syllable (such as "ga") instead of a single letter (such as "g").
With the exception of the letter "s," Cherokee is a complete syllabary
comprising some 85 phonetic sounds.
Almost all Cherokee syllables end in a vowel. When using
the syllabary, Cherokee words can almost always be spelled as they are
pronounced. Spelling sometimes varies when using English letters to interpret
the syllables.
The Cherokee language uses the following English consonants:
d g h k l m n q s t w .
The following English consonants do not exist in the Cherokee
language: b f p r* t v x z.
* The Eastern or lower dialect which is now extinct used
a rolling "r", which took the place of the "l" of the other dialects.
A beginning speaker should try to keep the lips still,
mouth slightly opened, pressing the tongue against the lower teeth. Syllables
beginning with "g" except (ga) are pronounced almost as in English, but
approaching to (t); do, du, dv are sounded as to, tu, tv in some words.
Syllables written with (ti) except (tla) sometimes vary
to "di". The syllables "do, du, dv" are sometimes sounded "to, tu, tv."
The syllables qua, que, qui, quo, quu, quv are pronounced
with a "kw" sound before each vowel. The syllables dla, tla, tle, tli,
tlo, tlu, tlv are pronounced by touching the tongue to the roof of the
mouth and bringing it down as the syllables are spoken.
The syllables written with "tl" except "tla" sometimes
are pronounced "dl". The syllables tsa, tse, tsi, tso, tsu, tsv are pronounced
a little differently depending upon the dialect.
In Western Cherokee the syllables are usually pronounced
as the "j" in jaw. Remember to try to keep the tongue at the bottom of
the mouth, touching the bottom teeth and the "j" in jaw. Remember to try
to keep the tongue at the bottom of the mouth, touching the bottom teeth
and the "j" sound becomes softer.
At times, Cherokee syllables have unvoiced or silent vowels.
At times the silent vowel may be indicated with an apostrophe as in the
number seven, "ga l' quo gi" -or indicated by brackets (li) quo gi." When
this happens the consonant in that syllable is pronounced with the preceding
syllable, "gal quo gi."
