Presentation of the Cherokee Language (Tsalagie)

Where is this language located?

Cherokee, known as Tsalagie, is a Native American language primarily spoken by the Cherokee Nation, which is located in Oklahoma.The Cherokee people inhabited regions in the southeastern United States, including North Carolina and Georgia. Today, the language is classified as critically endangered, with only a few thousand fluent speakers left, mostly among older generations. Common words in Cherokee include "Osiyo" (hello), "Wado" (thank you), and "Ahyu" (I love you). The language faces endangerment due to a decline in intergenerational transmission, as many young people do not learn it. Factors contributing to this decline include urbanization, cultural assimilation, and limited access to educational resources in the language. Efforts are ongoing to revitalize Cherokee, with community initiatives aiming to teach it to younger generations

Cherokee Connect Presentation

My digital solution to protect the Cherokee language is an interactive mobile application dedicated to learning and practicing the language.

Start

This app will allow users to learn Cherokee at their own pace through audio and video lessons, interactive quizzes, and conversation sessions with native speakers. It will be aimed at children, adults and teachers.

+ info

The application can be used in standalone mode, without an Internet connection, to maximize accessibility. It will also offer a bilingual Cherokee-English dictionary and games to strengthen memory of words and expressions. The more you use the application, the more intuitive and immersive language practice will become.

The home page of the application will have an intuitive design with a simple navigation bar allowing access to the different sections: “Lessons”, “Dictionary”, “Games” and “Community”. Users will be able to track their learning progress through a points and badges system. This digital solution will not only save the language but also enrich the culture of future generations.
