+The Cherokee script was designed in 1821 by Segwoya.
+
+The alphabet is essentially syllabic, only 6 characters (a e i o s u)
+correspond to Roman letters: the font encodes these to the corresponding
+roman letter. The remaining 79 characters have been arbitrarily encoded
+in the range 38-122; the cherokee package provides commands that map
+each such syllable to the appropriate character; for example, Segwoya
+himself would be represented \Cse\Cgwo\Cya . \ No newline at end of file
