When I tell people I am Cherokee, the most common question they immediately ask is "How much?". To me, asking how much Cherokee I am, is like me asking one of my colleagues how much American they are. Yes, part of Cherokee is a blood line. Yes, the American Federal Government tracks blood percentages for purposes of federal aid programs. But a part of Cherokee, like any part of Native American, is a question of citizenship. And I am a citizen. And a part of Cherokee, like any part of Native American, is a part of culture and understanding. As I work to explore my culture and to increase my understanding, I offer this page with some of what I have found. Cherokee Language A brief look at some of the Cherokee Language.

The Sum of Accurate Information Editor's Gloss The Guild Model Intensive Disciplinarity Alternatives to Peer Review ... The Effects of Computers on Writing Typesetting Native American Languages 14 Lessons Desktop Publishing Software Letters to the Editor Front Page All the native American languages spoken today are written either in some Latin alphabet, augmented with "accented" letters, or in a syllabary, a set of indivisible syllabic symbols, each of which represents a syllable. The Apache and the Navaho languages are among the native American languages that use a Latin alphabet, while Cherokee, Inuiktitut, and Cree are among the languages that use modern syllabaries. Syllabaries, common in ancient scripts, were used by the Maya and the Epi-Olmec people of Mesoamerica. Because a syllabary is less expressive than an alphabetic script, it can be transcribed in an alphabetic script without losing meaning. Students of the Cherokee language learn a Latin transcription of the syllabary to make it easier to learn Cherokee. The same characteristics that allow Cherokee to be transcribed into the Latin alphabet allow the creation of typesetting tools for syllabaries. A modern typesetting tool designed to handle syllabaries should allow users to type the symbols either directly (e.g., using a Unicode editor if the script is supported by the Unicode Standard,

    Extractions: Anthropology Outreach Office Smithsonian Institution AMERICAN INDIAN LANGUAGES In 1492 there were at least 350 different languages spoken by the Native Americans north of Mexico, including Eskimos and Aleuts, and perhaps some 1,500 languages spoken in Mexico and Central and South America. These are totals of separate languagesnot dialects. The speakers of one such language could not understand any of the other languages without special learning. If one included the different dialects of each of these languages, the totals would be much greater. As a general rule, most Indian groups known to us as separate tribes spoke separate languages. Presently, about 200 languages survive in North America, perhaps 275 in South America, and many more in Central America and Mexico. No American Indian language is derived from an historically known Old World language. The affinities of the native languages of the Americas are presumed to reach back across the Bering Strait but date back to a very remote period in the past. Not even the closest of such relationships can yet be demonstrated conclusively, so great have the changes been over the many thousands of years since the ancestors of the Old and New World peoples drifted apart. Aside from such genetic relationships presumed (but not demonstrated) to exist between American language families and some of the language families of Asia, attempts have often been made to identify specific words in various American Indian languages with more or less similar words in Old World languages, as evidence for pre-Columbian contacts across the Atlantic or Pacific. However, no such suggestions for prehistoric borrowings between the New and Old World languages have withstood critical examination of the evidence by qualified linguistic scientists.

    Extractions: Endangered Native Languages of North America As he began speaking the words of a Cherokee prayer that "calls on the Creator for his blessing," Durbin Feeling, a linguist and translator of the Cherokee language, let his voice lilt away from where one might have expected it to go. Few in the audience spoke Cherokee, but everyone clearly understood what Feeling said. Compared to the smooth, steady current of words inflected quietly but certainly by his lips, English seemed almost violent, broken and busy like river rapids. Mr. Feeling ended the prayer and began speaking in English to his enrapt audience. Feeling, along with linguists and cultural activists from the Makah, Caddo, and Tohono O'Oodham peoples of North America, was participating in a recent Smithsonian-sponsored discussion program titled "The People, The Language: Preserving and Maintaining the Native Languages of North America." Rayna Green, director of the American Indian Program at the National Museum of American History, moderated the program which was held at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden's Ring Auditorium. There were four speakers and the message was always the same: Native American languages will die without dramatic action by Native Americans, tribal governments and schools, and the United States Government to encourage their preservation and perpetuation. Today, only 150 Native American languages survive from the more than 500 languages once spoken in North America. Linguists predict that as few as 20 of those languages will be spoken 50 years from now.
