Language overview

(Southern) Carrier (Dakelh, transliterated as ᑕᗸᒡ in syllabics) is an Athabaskan language of the Dené-Yeniseian family spoken by the Dakelh people in the Central Interior of British Columbia, Canada, and counting about one thousand speakers.

Transliteration system: Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics

The Carrier syllabics, or Déné syllabics, is a derivative of the Cree Syllabics. It has been designed and introduced in 1885 by Father Adrien-Gabriel Morice, at the Stuart’s Lake mission at Fort Saint James. This writing system is known in Carrier as dulkw’ahke, or “toad feet”.

Specific rule

  • As the Carrier Syllabics system does not present any distinction between lower and upper case, the first letter of the first word of each sentence is artificially rendered as a capital letter when transliterated in Latin alphabet.
