Abstract

In the original language

The Cherokee language is a distinctive linguistic system with a rich history and unique structural features. This article explores its dialects, phonology, and grammar, providing an overview of its syllabary, vowel and consonant sounds, and core grammatical components such as pronouns and verb forms. By examining these elements, the study highlights the complexity and depth of the language while offering insight into its structure and usage. Through an analysis of its linguistic characteristics, this article contributes to a broader understanding of Cherokee as both a functional language and a vital expression of cultural identity.
