About Cherokee
Cherokee is an Iroquoian language spoken by the Cherokee people, primarily in Oklahoma and western North Carolina, United States. With approximately 2,100 fluent speakers remaining, nearly all elderly, the language is critically endangered. Cherokee is uniquely written in its own syllabary, invented by Sequoyah around 1821.
Sequoyah's syllabary is one of the very few writing systems created by an individual who was not previously literate in any language. The syllabary consists of 85 characters, each representing a syllable. Cherokee was the first Native American language to have its own printing press and newspaper, the Cherokee Phoenix, established in 1828. Today, intensive revitalization efforts include immersion schools, university courses, and digital tools, with the Cherokee Nation investing heavily in language preservation programs.
