Sequoyah invented the Cherokee syllabary for the Cherokee (Tsalagi) language early in the 19th century. It is reported that the entire Cherokee Nation became literate within a few months, and began publishing newspapers and other materials within the year. Cherokee is included in Unicode, and there are Cherokee fonts and keyboard layouts in many Linux distributions.
