Summary
The Cherokee language is the sole representative of the Southern Iroquian branch of the Iroquoian family. It is spoken by around 10, 000 speakers in north-eastern Oklahoma in Cherokee Nation, which consists of eight entire countries and parts of six more countries, and by approximately 1,000 speakers in western North Carolina, in Qualla Boundary in Swain and Jackson Counties, and in the Snowbird Community in Graham Country. Although Cherokee has more speakers that other Native American languages in the United States, it is not spoken by many tribal members under the age of 40 and is no longer being learnt by children as a home language, even in Cherokee Nation, where the rise of the Cherokee language has been considered to be more vigorous than in western North Carolina.
