Done. Thanks for the info.

In order for the language info to be complete, do you think you could
also give us:

      * Plural expression
      * Language name as it is written natively (optional)

Thanks!

Regards,
David.

Here is how it is natively written:

ᏣᎳᎩ

I'll work on getting the plural expression.

Based on the wikipedia article, Cherokee has a singular, a dual, and a plural. So that would be three forms. Verbs in the dual and plural can have inclusive or exclusive forms, but I don't think that can affect translations in a variable way.

Question now is, exactly for which numbers do you use each of the forms? The obvious guesses are "singular for n=1, dual for n=2, plural for everything else" and "singular for n=0 or n=1, dual for n=2, plural for everything else." But it's also possible that the singular or the dual comes back for 101 or 102 or 1001 or 1002 or something along those lines.

Can you help with this problem?
