      Hello: Ohseeyo (oh see yo) Goodbye: Donadagovi (doe naw doe go vee) Thank you: Wado (waw doe) Peace: Dohiyi (doe hee yee)

      Ohseeyo!

       Saying hello in Cherokee! Most

       of the 310,232,863 people in the United

       States speak English, and Cherokee is spoken

       by just over 20,000 people, mostly in Oklahoma and

       North Carolina. Our capital city is Washington, DC, on the

       far eastern shore of our country. The word Cherokee comes

       from the word Muskogee, and means “those who speak another

       language.” There are many religions in the United States, including

       Protestants, Roman Catholics, Mormons, Jewish, Buddhist, Muslim,

       and others. Wado for being here! May you have dohiyi.

       Donadagovi, friend!!!

      There are approximately 8.5 million takeoffs

       per year at American airports, which is almost

       half of the flights around the world.

      The postal service here in the United States

       moves over 40 percent of the world’s mail on any

       given day.

       The majority of people in the United States

       speak English as their primary language, though

       people from all over the world have come to live

       here.

       Cherokee is considered an endangered language,

       though many are trying to ensure that the

       language and culture survive, including the art

       form of basket making.

       There are more personal computers in the United

       States than in the next four biggest purchasers

       combined: Japan, China, Germany and the

       United Kingdom.

       We really like our popcorn here, eating over 17

       billion quarts of popped popcorn every year. That

       averages to over 65 quarts per person! We also

       like our pizza, eating on average about 100 acres

       of pizza every day or 350 slices every second!

      Always remember that a smile is

       something sacred, to be shared.
