The New Testament Of Our Lord And Savior Jesus Christ: Translated Into The Choctaw Language
American Bible Society, 1902
The Choctaw language, traditionally spoken by the Native American Choctaw people of the southeastern United States, is a member of the Muskogean family. Although Chickasaw is sometimes listed as a dialect of Choctaw, more extensive documentation of Chickasaw has shown that Choctaw and Chickasaw are best treated as separate but closely related languages.
There are three dialects of Choctaw (Mithun 1999):
- "Native" Choctaw on the Choctaw Nation in southeastern Oklahoma
- Mississippi Choctaw of Oklahoma on Chickasaw Nation of south central Oklahoma (near Durwood)
- Choctaw of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians near Philadelphia, Mississippi
Other speakers live near Tallahassee, Florida, and with the Koasati in Louisiana, and also a few speakers live in Texas and California.
