Eastern Muskogean languages

North American Language Families

Eastern Muskogean is a branch of the Muskogean language family of the southeastern United States. It comprises Muscogee (Creek), the Hitchiti-Mikasuki languages, and the Alabama-Koasati languages, the last of which historically also included the now-extinct Apalachee. Most Eastern Muskogean languages are critically endangered, with surviving speaker communities concentrated in Oklahoma following nineteenth-century removal from the historical southeastern homeland.
