  • There’s definitely two different dialects now, from the Oklahoma Cherokee and North Carolina Cherokee. That’s simply from the difference between the two. For instance, in the Cherokee Nation, we say “Osiyo” as a greeting, but the Eastern Band of Cherokee say “Siyo”. It’s still written the same way, but it’s an interesting way to see language change in such a recent time (the trail of tears was 1831). Kind of like Spanish in Mexico vs Chile or Spain.

    The language itself is very old (an Iroquoian language base), but the syllabary was created in 1821.













  • I don’t get it. Do we know that the trolley is heading for the people or not? Do we know if flipping the switch moves it away from whatever track that the people are on? Or is it going in the main track in all instances unless you hit the switch?

    I assume a villain would aim the trolley at the people, regardless of what track they’re on. That’s why they’re villains. So I would always flip it.
