The first writing system used for writing Dakelh was the Déné Syllabics, created in 1885 by Father Adrien-Gabriel Morice. The syllabics were originally designed for Ojibwe by the Reverend James Evans, who was refused permission to print in them by his missionary society.
The Dakelh language is spoken in a large territory in central British Columbia, from Stewart lake in the north to the area around the city of Quesnel in the south-east. There are two major dialects: Central, and Southern, both of which will be covered on this page.
3 days ago · Keyboards for entering Dakelh in the Déné Syllabics are available from the same source. One allows you to type in the Carrier Linguistic Committee system and converts on the fly to syllabics. The other assigns syllabic characters to single keys.
The vowels /u/ and /o/ merge to /u/ for many speakers: “fire” /kún/~/kón/. The /h/ in certain environments can be omitted: “now” /dųhų/~/dųų/~/dų/. /h/ at the beginning of a word is epenthetic (a sound added to a word to ease pronunciation). Voiceless and voiced fricatives can alternate depending on grammar: “belt” /thëth/ ~ “my belt” /sedhëdhé/.
