Cherokee syllabary

Original - The Cherokee syllabary is a syllabary (a set of written symbols that represent or approximate syllables) invented by Sequoyah in 1819 to write the Cherokee language. By 1824, most Cherokees could already read and write in the Cherokee language. Very few changes have been applied to the syllabary since 1828. The development of Cherokee literacy was a key factor in maintaining the ethnic identity of the Cherokee population.

• Oppose Good info in the article, but I can't see this as a featured picture - it's just a list of symbols that happen to be in an image format... it's also in unicode on the image page, and is not much different! --Janke | Talk 14:25, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
• Oppose per above Clegs (talk) 17:06, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
• Oppose per above, but if the user uploaded an original translation paper that has these symbals on it, I would fully support that. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 23:02, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
  • A pity we don't have a better scan of this lithograph. This [1] is a scan from a book and would need extensive cleanup. Spikebrennan (talk) 14:07, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
