Poliespo (Polisinteza Esperanto) is an extension of Esperanto using Cherokee words created by Nvwtohiyada Idehesdi Sequoyah, also known as Billy Ray Waldon or Billy Joe Waldon, condemned to death in the United States for murder. Nvwtohiyada believed that certain languages contained (to use his term) "lightning words," or phrases that speed up or clarify thought. Poliespo was an attempt to combine these 'lightning words' into one language. Most of Poliespo comes from Cherokee, English, Esperanto, and Spanish, the languages that Nvwtohiyada could speak.

The sound values of these are not well explained. It appears that the vowels a, e, i, o, u are as in Esperanto. A circumflex vowel is nasal. Ĭ is [ɪ] as in English 'ship', î is nasal ĭ. The vowel q sounds "like the ir of English 'girl'". W is
