The Cherokee script was designed in 1821 by Segwoya.

The alphabet is essentially syllabic, only 6 characters (a e i o s u) 
correspond to Roman letters: the font encodes these to the corresponding 
roman letter.  The remaining 79 characters have been arbitrarily encoded 
in the range 38-122; the cherokee package provides commands that map 
each such syllable to the appropriate character; for example, Segwoya 
himself would be represented \Cse\Cgwo\Cya .
