It is not possible to learn to speak a language just by memorizing word lists. To learn a language you must learn natural phrases, words put together which make sense for everyday talking, just as people use any living language. (You can learn such natural phrases from the cassette language learning course, Let's Talk Cheyenne.) However, it can be useful to learn some words from lists, since this will increase your vocabulary. Just be sure that you use these words in natural phrases and sentences. For more discussion about Cheyenne language learning, read our language learning page.
Now, even though I always encourage people to learn to speak in natural phrases and sentences, I realize that it is interesting and of some value to see lists of words. So at this Web page we have lists of Cheyenne words on various topics, such as animals, weather, school activities, etc. Most of these lists come from the Cheyenne Topical Dictionary which is available for purchase at a number of places, including Dull Knife Memorial College in Lame Deer, Montana, and CCEP in Busby, Montana.
Many of these words can also be found in our Cheyenne Picture Dictionary and Cheyenne Online Dictionary.
(Remember that there are other ways to spell Cheyenne words from the spellings in these word lists. For more on Cheyenne spelling, read the discussion of spelling rules and different alphabets.)
