I think the point Michael was making is that because Cherokee is already written in a phonetic script, transliterating it into a different phonetic script the students don't know and don't need to know and requiring them to learn that on top of the script they actually want to learn, would be counterproductive. Bear in mind that the audience for his project is not linguists who might already know IPA, but language learners. -- Matthew Skala msk...@ansuz.sooke.bc.ca People before principles. http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/ -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
