Über die Familie


Introducing Cherokee Bickerdike 05 (Regular and Bold) The Cherokee Bickerdike 05 (Regular and Bold) is an innovative and revolutionary font designed to empower learners and speakers of the Cherokee language. It's a comprehensive educational tool that goes beyond a simple typeface, integrating three critical elements into each character to create an intuitive learning aid. (The Bold version applies the bold style to the numbers and punctuation only.) Each unique character provides a complete phonetic guide: • A large, clear syllabary character occupies the upper-left, serving as the primary visual representation of the syllable. • Directly below is the Bickerdike Extended Transliteration (B.E.T.), a custom phonetic system engineered for precision and consistency. For specific syllables, the B.E.T. also includes a smaller, alternate consonant character to clarify subtle sound variations. • To the right of the syllabary is the Standard Transliteration, offering a familiar reference for learners to check their understanding against conventional transliteration systems. Unique Features for Enhanced Learning This font also includes uniquely designed numerals, crafted to visually represent the phonetic tones of the Cherokee language, much like notes on a music score. • Numbers 1, 2, and 3 are each uniquely styled to represent their respective tone levels. • The number "4" is represented by a grave accent character (  ̀ ), providing a comprehensive and intuitive system for understanding and reproducing the phonetic tones of the language. For added clarity in syllable structure, the double quotation (") has been reassigned to type a hyphen (-). This allows the single apostrophe to be used to show a glottal stop. This unique feature helps users visually distinguish between single-keystroke syllable durations which are shorter (-) and double-keystroke syllable durations which are longer (--). This is a custom solution, as the Cherokee language does not require the use of a single apostrophe. All elements included in this font (the phonetic system, the unique number designs, and the custom punctuation usage) were created and copyrighted in 2023. These designs are featured in the original published eBook on the Cherokee language, Revolutionary Cherokee: What You See Is What You Say by font creator Don Bickerdike.

Über Deep Perspective Books

Osiyo! This work, including the 3-in-1 Cherokee Font "Cherokee Bickerdike 05", is an independent project by a Cherokee Nation citizen dedicated to language revitalization. The 3-in-1 font, the "Cherokee Bickerdike 05", has been vetted by the Cherokee Nation and has been approved for accuracy. These tools are designed to fill specific needs, particularly for At-Large learners outside the Nation's primary service area. The modest fee ensures the project's sustainability and continued development. Deep Perspective Books is a unique and specialized foundry born from a commitment to language preservation and education. Founded by an author and publisher of books focused on the Cherokee language, our mission is to provide intuitive tools that make the process of learning complex writing systems more accessible and effective. This foundry's work is driven by a deep respect for indigenous cultures and a passionate belief in the power of language. The creation of our fonts began with a simple but profound observation: to truly learn and master the Cherokee syllabary, learners need more than just characters; they need a comprehensive and logical guide to pronunciation. Our fonts are the direct result of years of dedicated study and personal experience in language acquisition. They are engineered to solve the practical challenges that learners face by providing all the necessary phonetic information within a single, integrated character. Our most popular font, a phonetic tool designed specifically for the Oklahoma / Overhill Cherokee dialect, is a testament to this philosophy. It seamlessly combines the syllabary character with a smaller phonetic guide using our custom-designed Bickerdike Extended Transliteration (B.E.T.) system. This innovative system, created from a logical and consistent set of lowercase English letters based on the creator's own handwriting, is further enhanced by the inclusion of alternate consonant sounds. To the right of each character, the Standard Transliteration is also included, offering a familiar reference for learners at any stage. Beyond phonetics, we have incorporated an advanced system for tone. The numbers '1', '2', '3', and a grave accent (the ascii-tilde key) are uniquely designed to serve as visual tone markers, much like notes on a musical score. This feature empowers learners to understand and reproduce the correct tones, which are crucial for accurate pronunciation. The entire design, from the phonetic system to the tonal markers, was created and copyrighted in 2023, as documented in the published eBook, "Revolutionary Cherokee: What You See Is What You Say." This commitment to intellectual rigor and authenticity is at the heart of our work. At Deep Perspective Books, we believe in empowering language learners. We are not just creating fonts; we are building bridges to cultural and linguistic heritage. While our journey begins with the Cherokee language, our vision extends to creating similar phonetic fonts for other Native American tribes, contributing to the broader effort of language revitalization.
