A Dictionary of Creek/Muskogee - With Notes on the Florida and Oklahoma Seminole Dialects of Creek

The result of more than 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.
