Editing Cree syllabics (section)

==Variants==
The syllabary continues in use for dialects of Cree west of the [[Manitoba]]–[[Ontario]] border as [[Western Cree syllabics]]. [[John Horden]]{{Citation needed|date=December 2008}} introduced modifications in the 1850s in the [[James Bay]] area.<ref name="Campbell"/> These were standardized in 1865 to form [[Eastern Cree syllabics]], used today for many eastern dialects of Cree, [[Naskapi language|Naskapi]], and Ojibwe, though Cree dialects of eastern [[Quebec]] use the Latin alphabet. The two versions differ primarily in the way they indicate syllable-final consonants, in how they mark the semi-vowel {{IPA|/w/}}, and in how they reflect the phonological differences between Cree dialects.<ref name="Daniels"/> There are more minor local differences in orthography, shapes of the characters, writing styles, and punctuation, with some writers using dots or spaces between words, and others not indicating word separation.<ref name="Daniels"/>
