Note on Orthography
The basis of the orthography used in this work is recommended by the Hon. Mr. Pickering in his treatise on the Indian languages; and which employs the vowel sounds as used by most nations in Europe, as in the following examples, viz.
- ă as in făther, făst,
- a as in fall, fawn,
- e as in they, there,
- i as in machine, unique,
- o as in hope, robe,
- u as in rule, or like oo,
- y as in you, or like ee.
The short sound of the vowel is expressed by the character ﬞ over each; as ĕ in met, ĭ in pĭn, ŏ in nŏt; and the nasal sounds by the cedilla; under each. The dipthongs are
- ai as i in pine,
- iu as u in mule.
Note: This is no longer standard Seneca orthography. If you know how to write it in standard modern Seneca orthography, please help by converting the text below.
