This address is on Chahta (Choctaw) land near Bulbancha (‘Place of Many Tongues,’ New Orleans, Louisiana, United States). This language is called Chahta Anumpa (Choctaw) and is spoken across several Chahta groups. You may speak it without knowing when you say Atchafalaya, derived from hachcha falaya (long river) or, possibly, OK/O.K./okay (which may debatably be derived from Chahta Anumpa’s okeh). Nan ish ikhʋna ha̱? (Did you learn anything?)
Yakoke for participating!
