=== Numbers === Cherokee uses [[Arabic numerals]] (0β9). The Cherokee council voted not to adopt Sequoyah's numbering system.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://intertribal.net/NAT/Cherokee/WebPgCC1/Numerals.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111102075444/http://intertribal.net/NAT/Cherokee/WebPgCC1/Numerals.htm |archive-date=November 2, 2011 |publisher=Inter tribal |title=Sequoyah's Numerals }}</ref> Sequoyah created individual symbols for 1β20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100 as well as a symbol for three zeros for numbers in the thousands, and a symbol for six zeros for numbers in the millions. These last two symbols, representing ",000" and ",000,000", are made up of two separate symbols each. They have a symbol in common, which could be used as a zero in itself. {| class="wikitable sortable collapsible" |- ! English !
