Unlocking the secret sounds of language

[Manuela Noske]

Incidentally, you might want to check out this website here if you need a font for Dinéh Bizaad that is compatible with different platforms and applications.  Chris Harvey owns the site; he specializes in creating Unicode fonts and keyboard lay-outs for different Native American and First Nations languages. He has a lot of useful information and stuff on that site!
