The Cherokee script is a syllabary created by Sequoyah, a Cherokee leader, in the early 19th century. It was designed to help preserve the Cherokee language, which was facing the threat of extinction due to colonization and forced assimilation. The script is unique in that it was developed by a Native American without any prior exposure to other writing systems. The Cherokee script was widely used by the Cherokee people for many years, but its use declined after the Trail of Tears and the forced assimilation of the Cherokee. However, there has been a resurgence of interest in the script in recent decades, and it is now being taught in many Cherokee communities.
