I've been working on adding Cherokee support to the espeak-ng speech synthesizer. While more work definitely needs done, I think this is a good start.

I have chosen to use the Cherokee-English Dictionary phonetics, as this is the only written form that indicates both tone and cadence that is in common use.

The Cherokee Language translation of the beginning of Pilgrim's Progress.

This is the text as published in The Cherokee Messenger in 1844.

The translation starts where the dream begins and stops after the two children are discussed in the Interpreter's house.
