How did Cherokee get their name?

The original name of the Cherokee is "Tsalagi" when pronounced it sounds very close to Cherokee. White settlers could not speak the name properly, and so they got labeled as "Cherokee." The old meaning of Tsalagi is debated, it is agreed that today the name means "Real People" to show that natives are real, and that white society is not real (or is not human).


Cherokee Indians language?

The Cherokee call themselves Ani-Yunwiya (ᎠᏂᏴᏫᏯ), which means "Principal People." The origin of the word "Cherokee" is uncertain, with several theories having their own proponents. It may come from a Choctaw word meaning "those who live in the mountains" or from a different Choctaw word meaning "those who live in the cave country."Another theory is that Cherokee derives from a Creek word for "people with another language".It may be worth noting that the Iroquois nations of New York called the Cherokee Oyata'ge'ronoñ meaning "inhabitants of the cave country," and that the Cherokee speak a Iroquoian language and migrated in ancient times from the Great Lakes region where the Iroquois confederacy was based when the Europeans encountered them.


Who still speaks Tsalagi?

According to the Cherokee Nations website there are 30,000 people fluent in Tsalagi. This number is outdated and increasing as time goes by as the Cherokee have instituted a school program to re-teach the language to Cherokee students. Fluent means a full ability to speak the language and concepts, in at least 1 dialect.


What did the Cherokee speak?

Many learned English, but they had their own language, T'silagi. Notably, Cherokee was the first First Nations language to have its own writing system (other than Mesoamerican hieroglyphics). Instead of an "alphabet" of letters, they used a "syllabary" of fundamental sounds.
