Jokes are just funnier in Seneca.

That’s what Robbie Jimerson says his grandfather, a fluent speaker of the
Seneca language, always tells him.

Jimerson, a graduate student at Rochester Institute of Technology, is
starting to get in on the jokes.

With the support of RIT and the Seneca Nation of Indians, Jimerson is
developing acomputer app that will be able to translate English into the
more nuanced and still-evolving Seneca language. The work is called the
Seneca Language Revitalization Project.
