A very challenging language to learn when there is no language partner in the home or neighborhood. Thank you for posting.

"Imagination is more important than knowledge" This is wonderful
The only language that I know of that we know the first student was a girl: his daughter. I just think that's interesting because there are cultures that are reluctant to educate daughters.
Thank you for encouraging me to learn Cherokee

Why did he choose a syllabary though? Couldn't Latin script also work?

It can be very difficult to convince your fellow countrymen to adopt any tools used by their oppressors, especially when it serves a function the community has never really seen a need for (reading, in this case). Also apparently Cherokee is not a language that transliterates very well.

To understand why, we have to understand who Sequoyah was. Like almost all Cherokees at the time (other than those who'd already been educated in English), he was illiterate and only fascinated by the whites' ability to talk on paper and transcribe/transmit their language long distances, so he figured it could work for the Cherokee language as well if it had a system like the whites. He didn't even start with a syllabary alphabet; he started by trying to come up with a symbol for every Cherokee word, then by doing so for every Cherokee idea before finally settling on every syllable (ultimately 86 in all).

1. At the time Sequoia made the alphabet, the Cherokee were not being oppressed. Forget the Leftist garbage narrative. 2. Given that the Roman alphabet has only five vowels, and they change sounds, it’s more accurate to have a syllabary character that denotes the correct sound.

it was originally developed that way because its inventor Sequoyah wasn't literate in any Latin scripts, but the syllabary stuck over time because Cherokee, like many indigenous languages of North America, is complex in ways that make a latin alphabet really awkward to use. Cherokee has lots of phonemes (basic vocal units of language) that have no representative letters in the Latin alphabet, and Cherokee's grammar allows for the intensive modification of verbs so ideas that make up entire simple sentences in English only take a single word to convey in Cherokee. This all means Cherokee is substantially longer when it's romanized than when it's written in the syllabary. The syllabary can write words out in half or a third the total number of characters as a romanization can. Another benefit is if you're already fluent in spoken Cherokee, but illiterate (uncommon now but exceptionally common in the 1820s), learning how to write will take you a matter of months with a syllabary rather than years with a latin alphabet. Literacy rates increased so dramatically after the syllabary was adopted throughout the Cherokee tribes in the mid 1820s that they could read and write more than the white Americans who displaced them, and they'd begun publishing Cherokee newspapers within 10 years of the written language being invented.

Thank you so much for these insights. I. Just learning the basics of Cherokee through the Mango language app. It has spoken examples as well as the syliballic langauge. Very challenging!

"Based on the Greek ceremonial script, the original Cyrillic alphabet included the 24 letters of the Greek alphabet and 19 letters for sounds specific to the Slavic language...The Cyrillic alphabet achieved its current form in 1708 during the reign of Peter the Great. He introduced lower case characters (before all letters were written with capital letters) and mandated the use of westernized letter forms, making the modern Cyrillic similar to the modern Latin font."
