The concept of the Mayan civilization is cool and something I would like to see more of in the future. Still, I think it's important to point out that the Mayan numbers aren't related in any way to the Cherokee language (which is the one used for the legends of the alphas) if you plan on doing a set themed around the Mayan civilization I would recommend doing some better research and removing the Cherokee alphas as they aren't related to the theme at all.
Yes, the Cherokee themselves are not tied to the Mayans.
According to legend, some of the Cherokee symbols were modeled after the Latin alphabet, and George Guess had seen English writing, but did not know how to write it. The Maya is a civilization that disappeared from the Americas, and the Cherokee is also a small language that is disappearing in the Americas. It is thus integrated.

I thought this was a really funny ****post until I realized you’re the OP.
This is not the justification you apparently think it is.
Yes, the Cherokee themselves are not tied to the Mayans.Which is why you shouldn't use Cherokee script for a Mayan-themed set. If you want to do a Cherokee set, there's a path to doing that respectfully, but this isn't remotely close to that.
According to legend, some of the Cherokee symbols were modeled after the Latin alphabet, and George Guess had seen English writing, but did not know how to write it.First, it's not "according to legend." It's "according to historical records from the 1820s." This isn't some sort of story wrapped in mysticism and legend; it was a real and concrete effort by Sequoyah (George Guess / George Gist would have been a name he used when interacting with colonists, probably not the one he used most himself) to create a writing system for the Cherokee people. It is true that he could not read or write English initially, but he was able to see the value of written language from the European traders. While his efforts to create a Cherokee script system did repurpose some Latin symbols, assigning them to new sounds and syllables, the capital / lowercase relationship was not maintained. There are 85 characters in the modern Cherokee syllabary, and your mono-symbol layout only includes about 34. It's a disservice to the history, the culture, and the writing system.
The Maya is a civilization that disappeared from the Americas, and the Cherokee is also a small language that is disappearing in the Americas. It is thus integrated.As others have pointed out, the descendants of the Mayans still live in Central America, and several languages (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayan_languages#Modern_period) descended from Mayan are still spoken. Cherokee is indeed a less-spoken language compared to the 1820s, but there are considerable efforts to keep it from "disappearing" among the Cherokee communities.
