Book excerpt: This dictionary was derived from the raw list of word roots and affixes collected by Dr. Duane King in his 1975 University of Georgia dissertation on the Cherokee language entitled A Grammar and Dictionary of the Cherokee Language of the Qualla Boundary in North Carolina. It includes many words that are not in the Cherokee-English Dictionary or other sources. It is our hope that this dictionary will not only expand and contribute to the preservation and growth of the Eastern dialects of the Cherokee language, but also be a resource that fills in gaps in other resources as it includes many words that are not in the Cherokee-English Dictionary or other sources.
