Cherokee--more properly spelled Tsalagi--is an Iroquoian language with an innovative written syllabary invented by a Cherokee scholar. 22,000 people speak Tsalagi today, primarily in Oklahoma and North Carolina. Though it is one of the healthier Indian languages of North America and the one in which the most literature being published, Tsalagi is still in imperiled condition because of government policies as late as the fifties which enforced the removal of Cherokee children from Tsalagi-speaking homes, reducing the number of young Cherokees being raised bilingually from 75% to less than 5% today.
According to what I've learned, the Cherokee spoke a language that called "tsalagi" (I think it's pronounced something like: "jah-lah-gee". I think the "G" in this word is pronounced something between a hard "G" in English and the English "K". I'm a total beginner as far as understanding the language, but that's something I know from various resources online). I'm not sure if there's an accurate English name for the language, but when I was looking for the Cherokee Language, I referred to the language as "Cherokee" before I knew their name for their own language. Hope this helped.
Most Cherokee people speak English.
There are also about 11,000 speakers of Tsalagi Gawonihisdi (ᏣᎳᎩ ᎦᏬᏂᎯᏍᏗ) also called Cherokee.
Cherokee has a unique writing system. It was invented by Sequoiah, a man who could not read, but took the letters he saw in English books, and adapted them for Cherokee, without knowing how they were pronounced in English. For example, the letter "a" in Cherokee is written "D."

It was used as far back as 1828, in the "Cherokee Phoenix," the first newspaper published by what were then called Indians (and today are called Native Americans). The newspaper was bilingual-- English and Cherokee. I enclose a link to some information about it, which includes images of what written Cherokee looked like.
