	Koasati language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Koasati (usually Coushatta) is a Native American language of Muskogean stock.
		The language is spoken by the Coushatta people, most of whom live in Allen Parish north of the town of Elton, Louisiana though a smaller number share a reservation near Livingston, Texas with the Alabama people.
		The language is related to Mikasuki language and some native speakers of Coushatta report they have been able to understand Mikasuki even without previous exposure to the language.

	New Georgia Encyclopedia: Languages of Georgia Indians
		A language family is a group of languages that are clearly related and have a common ancestor, or mother tongue.
		The accepted classification of the languages in the Muskogean family was presented in 1941 by linguist Mary Haas.
		In the sixteenth century the Koasati language was spoken by Native Americans in northwestern Georgia.

	SMU Anthropology, Alibamu Koasati
		The Koasatis were known as the "White Cane" people, and were closely allied with the Alibamus or "Medicine Gatherers," migrating separately to Louisiana and Texas, but yet remaining in close proximity to each other (see Flores 1977:55).
		Those few Koasati who were invited to join the Texas Alibamu on their 4,351 acre Reservation in Southeast Texas, granted in 1854, aided the maintenance of traditional culture, including language (Kimball 1992; Robbins 1976).
		Koasati women, and indeed other Creek Indian groups (Braund 1990; Mason 1963:68-73), appear to have maintained ceramic traditions far removed from their homeland during the decades of extreme acculturation and forced and voluntary migrations of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.

		The first deals with differences between men and women on other colour-related tasks; the second involves other differences between the language of men and that of women, suggesting that if men and women do differ in their vocabulary of colour, it would not be the only area in which their languages differ.
		There is a large amount of evidence that the language of women is not always the same as the language of men.
		In Koasati, an American Indian language (Haas, 1944), men's and women's speech differ in some forms of verbal paradigms.

	\Culture in Acadiana
		The Koasati or Coushatta belong to the Muskogean language group and were originally located in the area of the Upper Tennessee River Valley.
		As the Anglo attitude toward the Indians worsened, the Koasati found themselves allied with the French colony of Louisiana under Bienville during the second decade of the eighteenth century.
		The Koasati are widely recognized for the quality of their traditional crafts, such as the long-leaf pine needle baskets, and for their highly preserved oral traditions.

	How Many Indigenous American Languages are Spoken in the United States? By How Many Speakers?
		Language scholars believe that prior to the arrival of Columbus, approximately 300 languages were spoken in North America; since then, the number of indigenous languages has dropped considerably.
		It is difficult, however, to determine a precise census of speakers of these languages, and Krauss suggests that reasons for this difficulty include confusing US Census language definitions and biased responses by some respondents.

	Linguistics 001 -- Lecture 15 -- Language and Gender
		Speech and language tend to be localized on the left, or dominant, side of the brain ("lateralized"), while some other functions such as visuospatial integration and emotional appreciation of context are lateralized on the opposite side.
		To the extent that there are systematic differences in language usage between men and women, we must apparently look elsewhere for an explanation than in the anatomy and physiology of their brains.
		Discussions of male and female speech and language, whether construed as biological or cultural or both, leaves out the fact that human sexuality is not nearly as binary as the basic opposition between XX and XY chromosomal complements.

	Science in Christian Perspective
		But if the languages involved are widely diverse, and if, as may be the case in much of the actual revelation, this is the first time that the crucial concepts have ever been translated from one of these languages to the other, then such a translation is a task worthy of any man.
		Where the languages are similar the contribution of the translator is minimal, and we may be inclined to mention him only, as it were, in parentheses.
		Then, casting about for the other languages in which God might have spoken, we have suggested and briefly considered the proposal that the objects and events of the natural physical, social, and psychological worlds are themselves elements of that language, that the world is the speech of God with men.

		Koasati Dictionary is one of the first modern dictionaries ever published of a language of the Muskogean language family, whose speakers formerly occupied most of the southeastern United States.
		Today their language survives in southwestern Louisiana, where it is still spoken by the majority of tribal members living there.
		Published three years after Kimball's richly detailed Koasati Grammar, this dictionary is the second of three monographs to result from his fifteen-year study of the language.

	VIEW ROA 466
		In the Muskogean language Koasati (Kimball 1991), pluralization in indicative verbs may be shown allomorphically by truncation of a root-final rhyme or consonant.
		The essential argument is that high-ranking anti-MAX constraints are operative on the OO-correspondence relation of the singular/plural paradigm, forcing truncation of at least one segment in the derived word in a manner restricted by more general phonological constraints on the grammar.
		Examination of anti-faithfulness constraint interactions in the grammars of Koasati, Tohono O'odham, and Lardil will illustrate a more general morph-phonological framework under which subtractive morphological operations may be analyzed without reference to the syllable or rhyme template which previous analyses of subtraction have relied upon.

		The Mikasuki language is still spoken regularly by a large group of people--it is the primary language of both the Mikasuki and Seminole tribes of Florida.
		The language of the Oklahoma Creeks, the language of the Oklahoma Seminoles, and the language called Apalachicola are all commonly called "Muskogee," "Creek," or "Muskogee Creek," since they are all really just dialects of the same language.

		I like to tell our children that the pen is truly mightier than the sword, because we went to bed one night in 1953 as Indians in the eyes of the Federal government, and the next day we woke up and were no longer considered Indians.
		The eloquence and rhythmic pace of this story that Bel Abbey told in Koasati are evident in the English translation.
		By viewing both the English and the Koasati versions of the Prologue, students can see a language that differs dramatically from their own and how the translator chose to arrange the English version on the page.

		Even if your language is on the verge of dying out and none of the young people seem interested in learning it, if you record it for later generations, then young people in the future may come to realize its importance and you will have given them the tools to revive the language again.
		You don't need to be fluent in an Indian language to make them more available to language learners--you just need to have access to dictionaries, texts, tapes, native speakers, or a good library and be good enough with languages in general to transcribe and/or type words in a foreign language.

		These are contemporary societies — perhaps societies in the throes of rapid change, but viable speech communities nonetheless — and the observer is often also a participant in the society.
		Hymes’ (1966) work on the Wishram Chinook was a salvage ethnography; Hymes worked with an aged consultant who in earlier days may have actually participated in native culture before the force of acculturation had gained too much momentum.
		However, between 1912 and 1922, John Peabody Harrington, a tireless linguist and ethnographer, worked with an older generation of Chumash to record and preserve as much of their language and culture as possible.

		Originally used to acquire books in these subject areas, the increasing strength of the APS collections for Native American languages combined with a critical need for support for primary research led to a gradual change in the use of the Phillips Fund.
		Since the 1930s, the APS had provided grants to support research on Native American languages, but in 1941, a Special Committee on the Future Policy of the Library recommended tapping the Phillips Fund for this purpose.
