Cherokee Gadugi language group adopts a comprehensive study guide.

Language Group Text

The language group tackles "Beginning Cherokee" by Ruth Bradley Holmes and Betty Sharp Smith which teaches the rudiments of Cherokee, which is the native tongue of about 20,000 Americans, although most of those who speak it use it only as a second language. Cherokee has had several recognized dialects in the past. The two main dialects today are the North Carolina and the Oklahoma, or Western, which is a consensus of the different ways of speech among the Cherokees mingled there after their removal from the East in the 1830’s. This book uses the Oklahoma dialect.
