  abstract: This text examines the tone and accent of Oklahoma Cherokee, in which 6 possible pitch patterns can occur on a syllable: low, high, low-high, high-low, lowfall, and superhigh. It investigates the distribution and source of these patterns, the principles that determine their positions, and the nature of tonal alternations.
