About the Cherokee Syllabary

📜 History

Created by Sequoyah in 1821, the Cherokee syllabary is one of the few writing systems invented by a single individual—revolutionizing Cherokee literacy and enabling unprecedented cultural preservation.

🎯 Structure

The syllabary contains 85 characters, each representing a complete syllable (consonant + vowel). Its remarkable efficiency allows learners to achieve literacy in days rather than years.

💡 Cultural Impact

Within years of its creation, the Cherokee Nation achieved one of the highest literacy rates in the world. Today, the syllabary remains essential for preserving Cherokee language and cultural identity.
