Mikasuki language

The Mikasuki language (also Miccosukee, Mikisúkî or Hitchiti-Mikasuki) is a Muskogean language spoken by around 500 people in southern Florida. It is part of the Eastern branch of Muskogean languages, along with Creek-Seminole and Apalachee–Alabama–Koasati. It is spoken by the Miccosukee tribe and many Florida Seminole. The extinct Hitchiti was a mutually-intelligible dialect. The Miccosukee achieved federal recognition as a tribe in 1962. Both tribes have speakers of Mikasuki today. Presentations in the language have been featured at the Florida Folk Festival.
