iTunes Store offers Cherokee language revitalization application

TAHLEQUAH, Okla. – Thornton Media Inc. has developed an iTunes application that
allows the Cherokee language and other indigenous languages to be downloaded
onto handheld game consoles, MP3 players and cell phones.

Company officials – who also created RezWorld, a video game designed to
revitalize Native languages – said the downloadable language software is called
Language Pal and can program audio recordings of an indigenous language in
multiple dialects from multiple speakers.

It also allows the programming of electronic flashcards, archived recordings,
multiple choice games and thousands of audio files with searchable databases on
the Nintendo DSi, a portable game system.
