This wonderful video is far greater and far more than a language lesson. It is about how we should behave with others, with special behavior for respecting and honoring our elders.

Wado, Timothy. I was just given Cherokee citizenship. I very much appreciate it, and I am very interested in learning more about our culture and language. Are these "Cherokee Behaviors" something that has been passed down? If so, that might explain a thing or two about my grandma and her family.
These are pretty much true to all cultures and societies. Every now and then, there is somebody who does an elegant job of verbalizing the lifeways. It is part of a contemporary, or perhaps, colonial mindset to make them into finite, numbered list, but that's the way many people understand the world today. This is Ed Jumper and I believe Ryan MacKey was the one doing the recording.
At one time, there was a shorthand/cursive version, but with the publication of the Chereokee New Testament book in 1860 in movable type, the writing has been redefined to resemble what you see. It has stayed the same for about 150 years, but has rapidly evolved in the last two or three years with changes made to a few symbols in the age of font editing and unicode standardization. Believe it or not, must people write it this way. The only place I've seen the old handwriting lately are on tattoos that a few people have gotten.
I realize you commented this quite some time ago, but Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma offers free Cherokee language classes taught by an elder. They are wonderful and very welcoming! It is never to late to connect with your roots, I sincerely hope you are able to learn more about your culture and language and wish you the best on your journey!
I'm taking the online Cherokee classes from Cherokee Nation with first Language speaker Ed Fields, and they are wonderful! I'm just in the first round, and have already learned so much!

Noo, it wasn't a 4. It was a glyph from the Cherokee syllabary, that looks just like 4, but is used to write a syllable "se". Sequoyah, the inventor of the syllabary, couldn't read at all, but he saw some English newspapers and signboards. He had no idea, that a 4 stands for 'four', but he thought it looks cool and decided to use this symbol in his own writing system. That's why some glyphs in Cherokee look just like English letters or numbers, but have totally different meanings.
Lol, no, that's not a 4 it's Ꮞ (se). It's a fluke created when Cherokee was first written. Cherokee writing was literally just characters taken from a bible or improvised to look like characters that could be used in writing. And since the one person who made the script could not tell the difference between written numerals and letters (he could not read the bible he had) he just used the 4 for his language and now it's a glyph used to this day. They also have two more: Ꮾ & Ꮽ (wu & wv) they just look like numbers to those who use Arabic numerals (most of the world at this point, including the Cherokee themselves if I'm not mistaken).
As Linka said, Sequoyah, the inventor of the Cherokee syllabary, was illiterate. He came up with a writing system based on glyphs he'd seen used elsewhere, some Latin, some Cyrillic, some Greek, some Roman cursive and some might be from his own imagination (and I'd say that some look suspiciously similar to Georgian letters, but that's unlikely to have been an inspiration). The fact that none or only a few of the symbols he uses align with their original pronunciations shows how he couldn't read himself. That he still managed to create an complete and original writing system for a language that had none shows he had extraordinary talent.

looks like it would take a long time to write with that alphabet

I am half Cherokee but unfortunately I do not have a very strong connection to my roots. I would like to learn how to speak Cherokee. Can anyone help?
Yes. I can help. Haha
Mango Language app has Cherokee

Sgi. I am currently looking for a CWY syllabary to download onto my keyboard so I can write as I learn to speak it.
iOS now has keyboard. Also, you can download unicode
Wonderful video!!! Which dialect were you speaking?
I wasn't there. This was handed to me by Ryan Mackey years ago. I believe this is Ed Jumper speaking.
@@timothylegg Thanks for the info. I greatly appreciate you posting it and love its teachings! God bless!!!
Language of my ancestors.
Learn it then!
