Abstract
The Muskogean languages are indigenous to the southeastern United States. Choctaw, Chickasaw, Alabama, Koasati, Apalachee, Mikasuki (Hitchiti), and Muskogee (Creek) are all members of the family, as is the trade language Mobilian Jargon. The Muskogean languages have Subject-Object-Verb word order with a subject/non-subject distinction in case marking. Agent, Patient and Dative person markers reference participants in clauses. Grammatical tone is used for aspect. Possession is divided into relational possession and alienable possession. Several of the languages have unusually rich tense and number distinctions.
