"The earth (and the heavens) is a work of art. Science explains the intricacies of the brush strokes, but it takes faith to see the heart of the Artist in His creation." |

I have only learned a few words in Cherokee. Two I have started using often, even as a way of spacing my counting while I exercise, are "wado unelanvhi" [thank you God]. If you would like to try pronouncing them, A is as in 'father'; E is like 'a' as in 'way'; I is like 'e' as in 'bee'; O is as in 'oh'; U is as in 'moon'; V is an 'uh' sound. Other than 'v' the consonants are like English. The written Cherokee language actually uses a syllabary (symbols for the sounds of syllables), not an alphabet. The true Cherokee spelling is shown in the background. |
