Synopsis

A Concise Chickasaw Dictionary presents the two commonly used systems for spelling words of the Chickasaw language (Humes and Munro-Willmond), side by side for the first time in a simple English-to-Chickasaw format. Based on entries from A Chickasaw Dictionary, this language reference tool includes new and edited entries taken from audio files recorded by Vinnie May (James) Humes after the first printing of A Chickasaw Dictionary.
