English/Cherokee Dictionary - About the Cherokee... →
The Cherokee alphabet is written in the form of a syllabary. Unlike a traditional alphabet, where each letter represents a single sound, a syllabary is a form of writing in which each letter in a word stands for a whole syllable (such as “ga” ) instead of a single letter (such as “g”). With the exception of the letter “s,” Cherokee is a complete syllabary.

A “Chris” responds on Delicious’s official blog to press coverage that Yahoo is canning the service. Turns out Delicious should live on, as it sounds like Yahoo is entertaining buyout offers.
