ᎤᎵᎮᎵᏍᏗ

Welcome to ᏫᎩᏇᏗᏯ! (ᎤᎵᎮᎵᏍᏗ!) We are building an open-content encyclopedia in many languages. In the English version, started in May 2004, we are now working on 1,067 articles. As well, we are in the process of completely setting up ᏫᎩᏇᏗᏯ, which is quite quite time-consuming. How can you help? You can help by authoring articles, of course! ᏣᎳᎩᏍ ᎯᏬᏂᏍᎩ? Learn how to edit pages, experiment in the sandbox, and visit our Community Portal to find out how you can participate in the development of Wikipedia. This is extremely important. Many of our articles are written wholly or partially in the Cherokee language. If you speak Cherokee competently, please help us to author articles. Update articles, add new articles, or scrap old completely articles and write them in Cherokee yourself. Our goal is to eventually have a free, online, Cherokee-language encyclopedia with over 1,000 quality articles (written in Cherokee) for Cherokee students. This will help to ensure that students can undergo their education in Cherokee, rather than or in addition to English, and that Cherokee will survive, well-respected, into the next generation. While plenty of Cherokee speakers exist, many have not raised their children in Cherokee, so we are at a historic crossroads. This could be the last generation raised in Cherokee, meaning that Cherokee could (without things like ᏫᎩᏇᏗᏯ and the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma's efforts) eventually die out, for the most part, as speakers become elderly, as happened in the Qualla Boundary area. We need your help. (To see what ᏫᎩᏇᏗᏯ can be with your help, click here. Are you Cherokee but only English-speaking? You can still help. Are you an enrolled member of a reservation? Do you know native Cherokee speakers, or can you get in touch with them? Of course you can--quite easily in fact! Call friends, make new friends, and ask around. Help us to network. And learn Cherokee and help us write! No one is going to get mad if your Cherokee is not perfect--Cherokee is a flexible language, and we will applaud your efforts. Plus, the articles here will make it infinitely easier! So, are you concerned? You should be. Don't just stand there! Do something! :-) ᏍᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᏙᎯᏚ! Important Note: To view these pages correctly, you will need a Unicode-compatible Cherokee font.
