What is the language spoken in the Georgia's first tribe the Cherokee Indians?
Actually the language spoken by the Cherokee is "Tsalagi"(Jah-Sa-LaGe). There are at least 23 different dialects of Tsalagi spoken, some so different that the speaker of one cannot understand another, and these different dialects can change from clan to clan. Tsalagi remains the commonly spoken root by most Cherokee. Some of the words and phrases of Cherokee appear to be Hebraic in origin as are some of the religious concepts. However since there is no concrete evidence for such a claim, it remains simply speculation.
