LaserCheyenne in Unicode
LaserCheyenne™ in Unicode provides the high-quality, Unicode-encoded CheyenneLSU™ font in TrueType format for typing Cheyenne, plus English and Western European Latin-based languages. The product includes a software deadkey keyboard that provides logical, phonetic input of Cheyenne, including special accented letters, in any Unicode-compatible application. For example:
The Cheyenne are one of the best known of the Great Plains tribes of Native Americans. Today, the Cheyenne Nation is comprised of two united tribes: the Só'taeo'o (or Só'taa'e or Sutai), and the Tsitsistas (or Tsétsêhéstâhese). The Northern Cheyenne live in southeastern Montana, and the Southern Cheyenne live in western Oklahoma. The Cheyenne language is an Algonquian language, and is known as Tsêhésenêstsestôtse (or Tsisinstsistots) in Cheyenne.
The Cheyenne Alphabet
The Cheyenne alphabet consists of fourteen letters (a e h k ' m n o p s š t v x), plus accents to note pitch. The CheyenneLSU font includes these symbols plus accents for all west European Latin-1 languages.
The voiceless vowels can be typed with overdots or overcircles, as shown above.
