- The Cherokee writing system used to write ᎤᏕᏘᏱ was invented by Sequoyah, a man who was not literate in any language before creating it.
- The Cherokee language belongs to the Iroquoian family, meaning its structure and the word ᎤᏕᏘᏱ are more closely related to languages spoken in New York and Canada than to neighboring languages in the Southeast.
- Because the language is polysynthetic, a single modified form of ᎤᏕᏘᏱ can express an entire sentence like 'they are all staying here together'.
