| Title | Cherokee Presentation at the National Museum of Language |
| Body | From http://www.languagemuseum.org/calendar.htm Cherokee An exciting afternoon discussing an interesting language and its influence in world writing systems. Sunday, June 22nd 2:00 – 3:00 pm Open to the public. Admission is free. Reservations are needed because of limited seating. This talk will serve as an introduction to the wide range of the world's writing systems, describing varieties, how systems change over time, and how writing systems can be better or more poorly matched to capturing a particular language. We will then move on to specific discussion of the Cherokee syllabary: its history, its structure, and its influence in the world's writing systems. Finally, we'll discuss the syllabary in its current form and place within the formation and preservation of Cherokee identity. Presentation given by Carrie Clarady, a linguist affiliated with the Center for Advanced Study of Language (CASL).
