Cherokee Language

Cherokee is a polysynthetic language - which means it's very different from English. It can be tough to keep aspects, tenses, and pronouns straight. This Cherokee Language app let's you review and compare the more than 3000 verb forms and quiz yourself on the meanings. You common nouns are available, too. With the ability to use either a phonetic spelling or syllabary, you can customize your study to what you're trying to learn.

Cherokee is an endangered language, and the Cherokee Tribes are making a huge effort to preserve the language. But it can only happen if we study the language itself. Language is not just how we communicate - it shapes the ideas we have and impacts our view of the world. Preserving the language is an important part of maintaining the Cherokee culture.
