Before the arrival of Europeans, the Native Americans of central America developed a complex writing system that used glyphs. The earliest known writing in the Mayan script dates from about 250 BC, but the script is thought to have developed at an earlier date. The name of the Mayan glyphs creator/creators are not known. George Washington and Henry Knox proposed the cultural transformation of Native Americans. Washington believed that Native Americans were equals but that their society was inferior. Part of the Civilzation experiment that Washington/Knox proposed was to encourage tribes to invent a writing system. The Muscogee (Creek) people had started a written language in the late 1700s. The colony of Georgia encouraged the savages in their area to civilized, which included developing a system of writing. The Cherokee had Sequoya who developed a syllabary entirely on his own starting in 1809. The Choctaw had the help of Rev. Cyrus Byington (from Massachusettes) to create the most complete lexicon of a Native American language with the help of Choctaw Alfred Wright after nearly 50 years of work starting in 1821. The alphabet is based on English characters.
