Sequoyah, a Cherokee silversmith, invented the Cherokee syllabary in the early 19th century. His writing system enabled the Cherokee people to read and write in their own language.
"victorious people" is not in Cherokee, and this section of the site is about the English language. Cherokee was not a written language until the early 19th century, when a special set of characters (not the English alphabet) was invented for writing it.
He "invented" the written version of the Tsalagi / Cherokee language; and alphabet if you will.
------------------------------------------------1821----------------------------------------------Cherokee warrior Sequoyah finishes his work on a written language(syllabary) for the tribe. Within six months more than 25% of the Cherokee Nation learns how to read and write. Also he created a Cherokee newspaper, printed Cherokee Bibles, and accepted Christianity.
The Cherokee syllabary was invented by Sequoyah, a Cherokee silversmith, in the early 19th century. He created the syllabary between 1809 and 1821 to provide a written form of the Cherokee language, enabling greater literacy and communication among the Cherokee people. Sequoyah's innovation significantly impacted Cherokee culture and identity, and the syllabary is still in use today.
Sequoyah wanted his people to remain free he thought that if his people could communicate with each other by reading and writing, then they could keep their independence of the white people because the Cherokees had no written language.
He invented the Cherokee syllabary, a writing system still used today. Now all Apple computers come with Cherokee installed and there's a Cherokee-language Google that uses Sequoyah's syllabary.

Osceola is often confused with Sequoyah, who actually invented the Cherokee syllabary in 1821. Sequoyah's writing system allowed the Cherokee people to read and write in their native language, significantly enhancing literacy and cultural preservation. This innovation played a crucial role in Cherokee identity and communication, facilitating the publication of newspapers and books in Cherokee. Osceola, on the other hand, was a notable leader during the Second Seminole War, but he was not involved in the creation of the Cherokee writing system.
