==== Orthography ==== There are two main competing orthographies, depending on how plain and aspirated stops (including affricates) are represented:{{sfn|Uchihara|2016|p=11}}{{sfn|Montgomery-Anderson|2008a|pp=33, 64}}{{sfn|Scancarelli|2005|pp=359-362}} * In the ''d/t system'', plain stops are represented by English voiced stops (''d, g, gw, j, dl'') and aspirated stops by English voiceless stops (''t, k, kw, c, tl''). This orthography is favored by native speakers. * In the ''t/th system'', plain stops are represented by voiceless stops instead, and aspirated stops by sequences of voiceless stops + ''h'' (''th, kh, khw/kwh, ch, thl/tlh''). This orthography is favored by linguists. Another orthography, used in Holmes (1977), doesn't distinguish plain stops from aspirated stops for {{IPA|/t͡sa/}} and {{IPA|/kw/}} and uses ''ts'' and ''qu'' for both modes.{{sfn|Scancarelli|1987|p=30}} Spellings working from the syllabary rather than from the sounds often behave similarly, {{IPA|/t͡s/}} and {{IPA|/kʷ/}} being the only two stop series not having separate letters for plain and aspirated before any vowel in Sequoyah script. Ex: {{lang|chr|ᏌᏊ}} {{transliteration|chr|saquu}} {{IPA|chr|saàɡʷu|}}, {{lang|chr|ᏆᎾ}} {{transliteration|chr|quana}} {{IPA|chr|kʷʰana|}}.
