Cherokee is a very special language. It has only one double lip/m/(that is, "turbid double lip nasal").However, if the w (voiced soft palate, also known as semivowel) in Cherokee is also regarded as a bilabial sound rather than a soft palate sound, then this language will have two bilabial sounds (still very special).

Main entry: Cherokee syllabary
Cherokee is a syllabic character, with 85 letters in totalSequoyah (also called George Guess).Some of the symbols were created by imitating the Latin alphabet, but the sound values expressed were quite different;Sekoya has read English writing, but does not know how to write.
Cherokee language has a well-developed tone system, and the tone rules are precise and complex, which change among the tone groups. According to these rules, the combination of tones is changeable.Although the tone system in many areas (including those where Cherokee is often reduced to a second language without doubt) is in the process of gradual simplification, tones still play a very important role in distinguishing meanings, and are still used consistently, especially by older generation users.It should be mentioned that the Cherokee syllabic characters do not officially mark the tone, and the real meaning difference is rare among the local Cherokee speaking groups.Similarly, except in dictionaries, when transcribing Cherokee, it is also rare to mark any tone symbols ("osiyo", "dohits", etc.).Local Cherokee speakers can identify words with different tones and meanings in the context.
