		Chickasaw is a Native American language of the Muskogean family, which also includes Choctaw, Koasati, Alabama, Creek, Apalachee, and Hitchiti-Mikasuki.

		Chickasaw language revitalization efforts have been underway since the 1970s, but the younger generations have mostly switched to English, and Chickasaw has not been taught as a native language for many decades.
