/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Wow, I've never seen the Cherokee language in written form. It's beautiful!
He posts these regularly! And some magic!
85 (originally 86)[26] characters in the Cherokee syllabary provide a suitable method to write Cherokee
That’s fascinating! It’s a relatively new language, so I’m surprised it hasn’t changed more in the last 200 years.
Only the syllabary is new not the language.
You know what I meant, but yes, you’re correct
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.
Thanks for that clarification. Osiyo is one of like five Cherokee words I think I know (at one point I thought I learned how to say "hi, I am speaking Cherokee" or something similar, but my "knowledge" came from the internet so I was never sure)
For some reason I thought you'd say Osiyo be then the other person would say Siyo and that's how you said hello. I wonder what language I'm confusing it with.
someone done fucked up the transliteration system... or american english phonetics are really fucked.
One can't write phonetically in a language that doesn't have phonetic rules.
this is like "atheism doesn't belong as an option in "religion" boxes for personal data"
you have a phonetic system, it being a pile of shit isn't the fault of other languages.
I don't blame folk for not knowing the international phonetic alphabet, even though this here is what it's for. I have trouble keeping track of all of my vowels
¿ Por que no los dos ?
puede ser, ingles es una mierda total
That's pretty nice penmanship
That's very cool!
No! It's super cool!
Now the big question is how do you say, “Rampant cultural appropriation/misrepresentation is Star Trek: Voyager”? 🤣
I'm gonna bet on "Akoocheemoya".
In any language, LLAP.
