The Cherokee syllabary was created by an illiterate Cherokee man who had heard of the idea of reading and though it was a great idea, which is pretty amazing. It looks like a combination of cyrillic and latin lettering, with some other symbols put in for good measure. But it works! Amazing how just planting the seed of an idea can have a profound impact on the world.
