Overview

The result of over 10 years research, this work draws on the expertise of a linguist and a native Creek speaker to produce this modern dictionary of the Creek language of the southeastern United States. The dictionary contains over 7000 Creek-English entries, over 4000 English-Creek entries, and over 400 Creek place-names in Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and Oklahoma. The volume also includes illustrations, a map, antonyms, dialects, stylistic information, and word histories. Entries are given in both the traditional Creek spelling and a modern phonemic transcription.
