Ohseeyo!

Saying hello in Cherokee! Most

of the 310,232,863 people in the United

States speak English, and Cherokee is spoken

by just over 20,000 people, mostly in Oklahoma and

North Carolina. Our capital city is Washington, DC, on the

far eastern shore of our country. The word Cherokee comes

from the word Muskogee, and means “those who speak another

language.” There are many religions in the United States, including

Protestants, Roman Catholics, Mormons, Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim,

and others. Wado for being here! May you have dohiyi.

Donadagovi, friend!!!
