=== Pronouns and pronominal prefixes === Like many Native American languages, Cherokee has many pronominal prefixes that can index both subject and object. Pronominal prefixes always appear on verbs and can also appear on adjectives and nouns.{{sfn|Montgomery-Anderson|2008a|p=49}} There are two separate words which function as pronouns: {{lang|chr-Latn|aya}} 'I, me' and {{lang|chr-Latn|nihi}} 'you'. {| class="wikitable" |+ Table of Cherokee pronominal prefixes before a consonant, vowel |- ! rowspan="2" colspan="2" | ! colspan="2" | 1st person ! colspan="2" | 2nd person ! colspan="2" | 3rd person |- ! set I || set II ! set I || set II ! set I || set II |- ! colspan="2" | singular | {{lang|chr-Latn|ji-}}, {{lang|chr-Latn|g-}} | {{lang|chr-Latn|agi-}}, {{lang|chr-Latn|agw-}} | {{lang|chr-Latn|hi-, h-}} | {{lang|chr-Latn|ja-, j-}} | {{lang|chr-Latn|ga/a-, X-}} | {{lang|chr-Latn|u-, X-}} |- ! rowspan="2" | dual ! inclusive | {{lang|chr-Latn|ini-}}, {{lang|chr-Latn|in-}} | {{lang|chr-Latn|gini-}}, {{lang|chr-Latn|gin-}} | {{lang|chr-Latn|sdi-, sd-}} | {{lang|chr-Latn|desdi-, desd-}} | – | – |- ! exclusive | {{lang|chr-Latn|osdi-}}, {{lang|chr-Latn|osd-}} | {{lang|chr-Latn|ogini-}}, {{lang|chr-Latn|ogin-}} | – | – | – | – |- ! rowspan="2" | plural ! inclusive | {{lang|chr-Latn|idi-}}, {{lang|chr-Latn|id-}} | {{lang|chr-Latn|igi-}}, {{lang|chr-Latn|ig-}} | {{lang|chr-Latn|iji-, ij-}} | {{lang|chr-Latn|deji-, dej-}} | – | – |- ! exclusive | {{lang|chr-Latn|oji-}}, {{lang|chr-Latn|oj-}} | {{lang|chr-Latn|ogi-}}, {{lang|chr-Latn|og-}} | – | – | {{lang|chr-Latn|ani-, an-}} | {{lang|chr-Latn|uni, un-}} |}
