PART B_2

A language allows people to see the world in a special way. When a language is lost, the unique culture which preserves its ancient wisdom is also lost.
In English, 25% of the words are verbs, but in Cherokee there are over 75% verbs. Explaining how people act is what makes Cherokee unique. It tells what is happening, who is acting and to what or whom the action is being done. In 1821, a Cherokee scholar introduced the writing system which protected the language. However, written documents are not enough to preserve the language. People should use the language to communicate in order to preserve it.
To keep their language alive, the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians are using Cherokee for daily communication and discussions. They also started an immersion program for high school students that requires them to speak Cherokee before they can graduate. The program is also available in computer programs by using an application that allows people to type in Cherokee letters.

For the Cherokee, preserving their language is important. A Cherokee chief once said that people should not forget the Cherokee’s legacy by letting the language die with people who use it. It should be passed on to let its history be known to future generations.
