Usage notes
- Bilabial stops, such as /b/ and /p/, do not natively occur in Cherokee. As such, when foreign words with these sounds are borrowed into Cherokee, they are adapted as labial velars /ɡʷ/ or /kʷʰ/. Regardless, many Cherokee speakers continue to use the unadapted pronunciation, especially with more recent loanwords.
