	Cree syllabics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cree syllabics are the variations on Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics that are used to write Cree language dialects.
		Eastern Cree syllabics are used by Cree dialects east of the Manitoba - Ontario border, and Western Cree syllabics are used by Cree speakers west of that line.
		Not all eastern Cree dialects are written with syllabics - the dialects of eastern Quebec use the Roman alphabet.

	Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics - Iridis Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Canadian aboriginal syllabic writing (often "syllabics" for short) is a family of writing schemes which are used to write a number of aboriginal Canadian languages from the Algonquian, Athabaskan and Inuit language families.
		Canadian syllabics are presently used to write all of the Cree dialects from Naskapi (spoken in Quebec) west to the Rocky Mountains, including Eastern Cree, James Bay Cree, Swampy Cree and Plains Cree.
		In western Cree dialects, the placement of the semi-vowel /w/ between the initial consonant and vowel of a syllable is indicated by a dot after a syllable.

		The syllabics chart used to represent our Eastern James Bay dialect is a modification of the basic four symbol chart that is used in writing several similar dialects of the Cree and Algonquin languages across Canada.
		Along with all of the schools in the Cree Nation, at Wiinibekuu School in Waskaganish, the main focus of instruction for primary grade levels is Cree language and Cree syllabics.
		Cree classes continue to be taken throughout the secondary grade levels.

	Cree Language and the Cree Indian Tribe (Iyiniwok, Eenou, Eeyou, Iynu, Kenistenoag)
		All five Cree dialects (though not Atikamekw or the Innu languages) are written in a unique syllabary which uses shapes to represent consonants and rotates them in the Four Directions to represent vowels.
		Though many Cree regard the Metis as Cree brethren--and, indeed, though many registered Cree Indians are also mixed-blood--the Metis have a unique culture and their own creole tongue (known as Michif).
		Since Canadian nationhood, the Cree people have faced the same problems of self-determination and land control that every aboriginal group has, but they remain better-equipped to face them than most, and the Cree language is one of the few North American languages likely to survive into the next century.

	Cree language - Enpsychlopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Cree is the name for a group of closely-related Algonquian languages spoken by approximately 50,000 speakers across Canada, from Alberta to Labrador.
		Cree dialects, except for those spoken in eastern Quebec and Labrador, are traditionally written using Cree syllabics, a variant of Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics, but can be written with the Roman alphabet as well.
		Cree is one of the seven official languages of the Northwest Territories, but is only spoken by a small number of people there in the area around the town of Fort Smith.

		Missionary work in the 1850s and 1860s spread syllabics to western Canadian Ojibwe dialects (Plains Ojibwe and Saulteaux), but it was not often used over the border by Ojibwe in the United States.
		Cree syllabics use is vigorous in most communities where it has taken root.
		Later, as governments became more accommodating of native languages and in some cases even encouraged their use, it was widely believed that moving to a Roman alphabet writing scheme was better both for linguistic reasons and to reduce the cost of supporting alternative writing schemes.

	LLT Vol6Num2: Jancewicz (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Naskapi and East Cree languages are members of the Algonquian language family in North America, and form a part of the Cree-Montagnais-Naskapi dialect continuum (MacKenzie, 1980), stretching across the central Canadian sub-arctic woodlands from the Labrador coast to the Rocky Mountains.
		The syllabic characters themselves were "mapped" to their roman spelling, each consonant-vowel pair in the syllabic repertoire represented in text as English consonants and vowels.
		Because of the logical layout of the Cree syllabic chart, each row of the typewriter keyboard could be arranged to represent one of the vowels, and thus be somewhat easier to remember than a random layout: the resulting keyboard was based partly on the syllabic chart and partly on the sound of the characters.

	The Cree Language
		Cree is the most widely spoken Native language in Canada.
		Oji-Cree has also been lumped in with Cree, but this is a distinct language on its own, or at least a dialect of Ojibway.
		Furthermore, in many learn-to-speak Cree classes, English speaking students are taught in Roman orthography first, and it is only in the second or third level that Syllabics are introduced.

		In the recently declared (1999) Canadian region known as the Nunavut Territory, Canadian Syllabics shares the title of "Official Script" with the Latin script, and is used for the writing of the Inuit language.
		As originally devised, the Cree Syllabary was extremely frugal in its use of symbols.
		Samples of Cree may be found at the Cree Language Reader and Daniel 1:1-21 O.T., and some samples of Inuktitut at the Inuktitut Language Reader and at http://www.assembly.nu.ca/unicode/fonts/index-iu.html.

	Proposed pDAM for Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics
		For instance, Inuktitut GHA shall not be separately encoded from Cree CA; the characters are identical regardless of the pronunciation.
		Syllabics text is in common use for aboriginal items such as newspapers, magazines, books, educational materials etc.; the BMP is the appropriate plane for the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics repertoire to be encoded.
		Syllabics were first invented in the late 1830's by James Evans for Algonquian languages and, as other communities and linguistic groups adopted the script, the main structural principles described above were adopted as well.

		It is clear that the adaptation of Cree syllabics to the Inuktitut language was made by Horden and Watkins.
		In the 1950s and 1960s, before telephones were common in the north, letters written in syllabics often provided the only link between Inuit children who left home and lived in hostels to further their education and the parents who had, often reluctantly, agreed to let them go.
		The Catholic syllabic orthography recognized the difference in vocalic length, but did so by duplicating the symbol for the vowel which was long, so that any syllable containing a long vowel required two symbols to write it.

	Cree Syllabics
		The Crees use a syllabic writing system developed by Methodist missionary James Evans in the 1840s and made popular amongst the Crees of Iiyiyuuschii in the last few decades of the 19th century, when religious texts translated under the direction of the Rev. John Horden, became widely available.
		In the last 15 years there has been a resurgence of the use of syllabics and school-age children and many young adults are now able to read and write.
		Most Crees feel that knowledge of syllabics is an important part of being Cree and that Cree literacy plays an important role in maintaining and promoting the use of the language.

		Result of immediate processing output is expression of the native language text in the syllabic glyphs orthography of selected native language or dialect.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Catholic Indian Missions of Canada
		In 1842 a new and larger field was opened to the zeal of the missionaries, the Far West, today Alberta, where Father Thibatilt preached the Gospel to the Crees and Blackfeet who repaired to Fort Edmonton.
		Without becoming at once converts to our holy faith, these aborigines were persuaded by the preaching of the Canadian priest to the extent of definitively rejecting the advances of the Methodist minister who had preceded him in that distant region.
		Great was the opposition of the Protestant ministers (among whom was James Evans, the inventor of the Cree syllabics); but the Jesuits held their own, and managed to organize the flourishing Christian settlements of Garden River and Pigeon River (1848).
