in reflection some rather common day to day use slang in American English comes across the bridge from some interesting rather interesting source roots ,, for example the phrase "Ah ha" often used in short recognition of what another is saying often on the phone ,, is extremely close to the Cherokee or better said "Tsalagi language word for "Yes" V:-v'/V: Uh-uh/Uh = yes (one usually also nods when saying this) please note the Tsalagi language sound for "V" in there syllabary are voiced here last letter top row so you can hear in this example ,,

when run through the lens of our language there is a slight sound change, there language also has added words to describe things like "Automobile" or "Airplane" that where brought here by another people and had no words to describe in there original source language ,, The Cherokee (Tsa la gi) people are quite unique as a man named " Sequoyah " created a means for there people to write there thoughts down on paper, most native languages (And Na'vi as well) have no writing system) so there knowledge must be passed down from person to person through the oral tradition circle the importance of storytelling in first peoples community's has very deep roots because of this..
"Who was Sequoyah ?"
