Conlangery #79: Cherokee (natlang)

In our last full episode of 2012, we talk all about Cherokee. Top of Show Greeting: Emberyad Announcements:   Profile of John Quijada in The New Yorker   Jim Henry Medical Trust Featured NATLANG: Cherokee Reference Grammar Lexicon Valley on Sequoyah’s syllabary Short lesson on classifiers Feedback: Email: Good Afternoon, I just finished listening to you podcast on Khangabyagon and it struck me that you all said that this was a conlang for a ‘magical language’. And I know from Arika Okrent’s book that Laadan is for expressing the views of women better. So I would like to recommend an episode where you all just have some fun going over the different conlangs that have a stated purpose or philosophy  nothing all that in-depth but a broad set touching on what appears to be how that purpose is being addressed, detailed vocabulary or certain features of the language. Enjoy, Timothy Wofford
