Language and writing system
Sequoyah, the inventor of the Cherokee syllabary.
The Cherokee speak a Southern
Iroquoian language, which is
polysynthetic and is written in a
syllabary invented by
Sequoyah (
ᏍᏏᏉᏯ).
[53] For years, many people wrote transliterated Cherokee or used poorly intercompatible fonts to type out the syllabary.

Examples include
ditiyohihi (Cherokee:
ᏗᏘᏲᎯᎯ), which means "he argues repeatedly and on purpose with a purpose," meaning "attorney." Another example is
didaniyisgi (Cherokee:
ᏗᏓᏂᏱᏍᎩ) which means "the final catcher" or "he catches them finally and conclusively," meaning "policeman."

One example relates to a town in Oklahoma named "Nowata". The word
nowata is a Delaware Indian word for "welcome" (more precisely the Delaware word is
nu-wi-ta which can mean "welcome" or "friend" in the Delaware Language). The white settlers of the area used the name "nowata" for the township, and local Cherokees, being unaware the word had its origins in the Delaware Language, called the town
Amadikanigvnagvna (Cherokee:
ᎠᎹᏗᎧᏂᎬᎾᎬᎾ) which means "the water is all gone from here", i.e. "no water".
Other examples of borrowed words are kawi (Cherokee: ᎧᏫ) for coffee and watsi (Cherokee: ᏩᏥ) for watch (which led to utana watsi (Cherokee: ᎤᏔᎾ ᏩᏥ) or "big watch" for clock).

These ideas were largely incorporated into the 1827 Cherokee constitution.
[56] The constitution stated that "No person who is of negro or
mulatlo [sic] parentage, either by the father or mother side, shall be eligible to hold any office of profit, honor or trust under this Government," with an exception for, "negroes and descendants of white and Indian men by negro women who may have been set free."
[57] This definition to limit rights of multiracial descendants, may have been more widely held among the elite than the general population.

Chad Smith, has significant business, corporate, real estate, and agricultural interests, including numerous highly profitable casino operations.
