	Fitzgerald Thesis chapter 5 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Alabama is a dancer and her first priority is to preserve, to protect, and to develop her body.
		Alabama's language becomes indecipherable as she experiences a separation from the self she thought she was and the crippled self she now is. She sees the hospital room she is in and imagines that "the walls of the room slid quietly past, dropping one over the other like the leaves of a heavy album.
		Alabama realizes that her father, debilitated by illness, is not the man of strong convictions that he once was and that he cannot understand what she is trying to ask him.

	Hello Oklahoma! \| Alabama Language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Sometimes vowels in Alabama may have either a high level tone (written as á, í, or ó) [´] or a high falling tone (written à, ì, or ò) and these tones must sometimes be marked for words in the dictionary.
		The s sound in Alabama (phonetically a voiceless apico-alveolar fricative) may sometimes sound to an English speaker more like the sh sound in English shear, or may sound somewhat `hissier' than the English /s/ or as though it is produced with a faint `whistle' effect.
		Readers familiar with the language need to note that words they may pronounce as beginning with an s followed by a consonant will be found under the i's and not under the s's.

	Alabama Tribe History Brief The Indian Tribes of North America (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The Alabama tribe name is perhaps connected with the native word "albina," meaning "to camp," or alba amo, "weed gatherer," referring to the fl drink.
		The Alabama language belonged to the southern division of the Muskhogean stock, and was perhaps connected with the tongues of the Muklasa and Tuskegee, which have not been preserved.
		The Alabama attained early literary fame from Garcilaso de la Vega's (1723) description of the storming of "Fort Alibamo." Their later notoriety has rested upon the fact that their name became attached to Alabama River, and still more from its subsequent adoption by the State of Alabama.
