I noticed you have Cherokee name in English word on the bottom of your Thread that's good to let us know.

I'm wondering what's the word for my name in English and Fonts?

White Eagle...... _______________________ ?

SURE!! and welcome White Eagle.

White is easy..it is Yonega or Unega, I usually say Yonega
so yo-ne-ga Ypg keyboard Ypg

Eagle is a-wa-hi-li a\hl keyboard a\hl

so white eagle would be Yonega Awahili

Wado for let me know, I'm glad to have my new Cherokee name in English.

I'll print it out and put in my the file drawer, that'll remind me.

Since I was bestowed with the name RAVEN (meaning wisdom) by a Lakotah adopted Grandfather, I am interested in finding what my name is, along with the correct pronunciation, in Tsa La Gi. Since it seems you speak Tsa La Gi, How does one go about learning when he is far removed from anyone who actually speaks it? Your help is appreciated my Brother.

Raven is a beautiful name and a powerful one

Golana (kolana) is more like thunderbird
Goga is crow
but raven

is very close..my best would be
go-la-nv qwm sounded like go-la-nun (nasalized) the english keyboard would be qwm

the other would be
ka-lo-na K]n kaw-low-nah but that would be for a war chief/cheif war scout and for that the english keyboard would be K]n

all in all..I would recommend go-la-nv qwm

sorry it has taken me so long to get back online..I had to visit my mother who is not well.

I'm taking Cherokee language classes onling with the Cherokee Nation, at Tahlequah. The classes are free and very fun. You can find the site at Cherokee Nation.com, if you can't attend the live classes they have a archive that has the class so no one misses anything.

Ed Fields is a wonderful man.. when he speaks his honesty, his compassion it is impossible to deny.
As ed says..
nagav gohusti Unatlana gohisgi dechasaladihesti (or there abouts)
Strive to be closer to the Creator in all you do.

My mother named me 'horse' when I was little for running through the house. This is 'Soquili'. My full name is 'hears many horses.' I do not know how to write that correctly. The amount of information from my family is sparse, I think my sister and I are the only ones identifying ourselves as Indian. Anyone know how to write 'hears many horses' please let me know.

[wabington]

Correct me if I am in error but I believe 'hears many horses' is Anisoquili advgi ugodidi. Let me know if this is correct or if my sentence structure is incorrect.

[2shadows]

hmmm... interesting question.

I might have said "soquili guodidi advgi" or "horse(s) many I hear"

anisoquili I think would be horse-clan or more directly clan of the horse.

I also have heard the word "Tsiquesti" used for "many"
then it would be
"Soquili advgi tsiquesti" or horse(s) I hear many

I am curious as to what Chief Lee thinks.
