It's called Marijo - an a posteriori lang derived from PIE, in its own distinct branch. I need to put it up on the web when I can be bothered and/or when I have the time.

In Cherokee Indian:

cho-ee
nuh-gee
he-s-gee
soo-dah-lee
ga-li-kwo-gee
chaw-nay-la
sew-nay-la
s-go-he

Some of it is proably spelled wrong cause I just spelled it like it sounds when you say it. My Great-Grandfather taught it to me when I was young. He was Cherokee, and my Great-Grandmother was Choctaw Indian.


I am 1/8 Cherokee.
