This information is provided for WikitionaryZ and other Wikimedia projects who have requested updated Syllabary Maps of modern Cherokee vs. Otali Dialect Cherokee used by Modern Speakers.
Following are Syllabary maps which map drifted Otali Dialect Language vowels Characters back into the Sequoyah Syllabary. Drifted Otali words which us the following constructs should be mapped to the Sequoyah Syllabary characters in this table. Many hours of reviewing Cherokee writings from the 1800's til the present were used to construct this table, including the writings of Cherokee linguists and language experts about the evolution of the Language. This map should handle most of the cases. As you can see from the table, there are now a total of 126 syllables used in modern Cherokee words. This is a significant expansion from the language of Sequoyah's day which only supported 85 chracters.
