 | | This is a sketch of about 65 pages, which should be appearing later this year in a volume on Southeastern languages, edited by Janine Scancarelli and Heather Hardy, published by University of Nebraska Press. |
 | | It gives a nice overview of prominent phonological, morphological, and syntactic properties of the language, and is intended for a general linguist with no special knowledge of Muskogean or Native American languages. |
 | | In it, I look at lexicostatistical data for the modern Muskogean languages (Choctaw, Chickasaw, Alabama, Koasati, Mikasuki, Creek, Seminole) and make arguments for the correct subgrouping of the languages, for the approximate date of Proto-Muskogean, and for some features of the Proto-Muskogean environment (particularly the flora and fauna). |
