The Cherokee language is considered a Class IV language in its degree of difficulty in terms of spoken form. The Cherokee syllabary is the written form of the language. It is not an alphabet, but instead contains 85 distinct characters that represent the full spectrum of sounds used to speak Cherokee — one character for each discrete syllable. This syllabary, completed in the early 1820s by Sequoyah, a member of the Cherokee Nation, is on view now in #NYPLTreasures! His decade-long work developing the syllabary enabled written communication in the Cherokee language for the first time. He believed that a writing system would empower his people, offering them improved educational opportunities and means of exchanging information. His pioneering linguistic effort ultimately helped to unite the Cherokee people, preserving their language and culture during a period of forced physical displacement and assimilation. #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth
