 * No. Very few nouns are proper nouns except for those that may have been borrowed from English. —Stephen (Talk) 17:56, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

“Cherokee” in what sense?
If it is true what is said above in Talk:ᏣᎳᎩ that "[v]ery few [Cherokee] nouns are proper nouns", what sense of the English word does the Cherokee word  convey — a person, the people, their language, or its syllabary? According to Cherokee, "Tsalagi (ᏣᎳᎩ) is sometimes misused as a name for the people; Tsalagi is actually the Cherokee (ᏣᎳᎩ) word for the Cherokee language", and yet the entry for currently lists the synonyms, , and  which, AFAICT, all refer to the Cherokee people. Which is it? Both? Neither? All four of the English senses? None of the above? — I.S.M.E.T.A. 17:19, 14 August 2015 (UTC) Pinging Stephen. — I.S.M.E.T.A. 17:19, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
