The first issue of the #CherokeePhoenix was published on #ThisDayInHistory in 1828. It used the #syllabary script developed by #Sequoyah. But being one of the so-called #FiveCivilizedTribes did not protect the #Cherokee of Georgia from an act of #genocide under #AndrewJackson.
Today in History:
1828 – Initial issue of the #CherokeePhoenix is the first periodical to use the Cherokee #syllabary invented by #Sequoyah.
Is it magnanimous or humble to spend more text writing analysis of the actual piece than the length of the piece itself? I prefer to let critics #decide.
If you don't like it, you can write another. It's only 17 syllables. An average #syllabary has at least 50-100 characters while some exceed 1000.
Happy International Clown Week!
Here’s the writing system, numeral system, and punctuations for the Mycocorydon /mi.ko.ko.ri.don/ language.

Original study by Beau Duke Carroll et al., "Talking stones: #Cherokee #syllabary in #ManitouCave, #Alabama" published in @AntiquityJ 93(368),...
"The inscriptions were written in #Cherokee #syllabary, a writing system formally adopted in 1825. It quickly allowed a majority of the tribe to become literate in their own language, and the #ManitouCave inscriptions are among a few rare examples of historic Cherokee writing."
