Over the years there has been a steady decline in the use of Cherokee by Native Speakers. Prentice Robinson has dedicated much of his life to the preservation and teaching of this beautiful language, with the hope of altering this culturally, devastating trend.

This dictionary was conceived and compiled with the intention of retaining accuracy, yet simplifying the learning process in the meantime. No matter what level of fluency you may have, this dictionary is designed to aid you at your level. With over 4,500 hundred entries, in English, Sequoyan Syllabary and phonetics, this is the most complete Cherokee dictionary available, if not the only one.

Along with an extensive vocabulary, Prentice Robinson also includes a brief history and overview of the various dialects that have been used over the years. Though his work focuses on the Overhill--more commonly referred to as the Western Dialect--as it was the dialect used by Sequoya, it can be adapted for use with the Kituwah (Eastern) dialect with relative ease as well.
