”Any tribe that is considering
publishing a language dictionary would do well to browse
this book as a possible model for the format….It
would be an asset to all tribal collections.”—American
Indian Libraries
The result of over ten years of research,
A Dictionary of Creek/Muskogee draws on the expertise
of a linguist and a native Creek speaker to yield the
first modern dictionary of the Creek language of the
southeastern United States. The dictionary contains
over seven thousand Creek-English entries, over four
thousand English-Creek entries, and over four hundred
Creek place-names in Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and
Oklahoma. The volume also includes illustrations, a
map, antonyms, dialects, stylistic information, word
histories, and other useful reference material. Entries
are given in both the traditional Creek spelling and
a modern phonemic transcription. A Dictionary of Creek/Muskogee
is the standard reference work for the Creek language.
Jack B. Martin is an associate professor
of English at the College of William and Mary and a
specialist in southeastern Native languages. Margaret
McKane Mauldin is an adjunct instructor of Creek at
the University of Oklahoma.
