The written Cherokee language was developed by Sequoyah, a Cherokee silversmith, in the early 19th century. He created a syllabary, a system of symbols representing syllables, which allowed the Cherokee people to read and write in their native language. This innovation significantly contributed to literacy among the Cherokee and helped preserve their culture and heritage. The syllabary was completed in 1821 and has since been instrumental in Cherokee communication and education.
