About the Udugi Language

Yesterday there were 397 visits to this blog, the largest number we have had in one day. Today there have so far been 84 more. They are from the United States, and they are studying the Udugi language. I wish I could believe that they are Cherokee people, but that isn't very likely. My considered opinion is that they are from a three-letter intelligence agency, and are upset because they cannot understand the language. I don't care if they learn it; I would even help them. At least someone, besides myself, would be using the language.

The Udugi language can be understood, or at least 80% of it, by any speaker of Cherokee. It is not for secrets, and I have no secrets.

Dear NSA/CIA/FBI: Feel free to request an Udugi dictionary. I will freely give it. Also, there is an online Cherokee dictionary that is much larger than my Udugi dictionary, and the vocabulary is basically the same.

Several times I have requested my readers to not try to use the Udugi language for secrets. Its basic vocabulary is too well known, and that is not what it is for.

The purpose of the Udugi language is to save at least some part of the Cherokee (Tsalagi) language from extinction.
