Choctaw is a Muskegon language closely related to Chickasaw. There are about 7,000 speakers of Choctaw, most of whom live in the south east Oklahoma. There are also Choctaws in east central Mississippi, Louisiana and Tennessee. Oklahoma is a Choctaw word meaning "red people."
The majority of Choctaw speakers are over 45, though in Mississippi efforts are being made to pass the language on to the younger generation and some children are being raised with Choctaw as their first language.
"Lh" can also be written "hl", "ʊ" can also be written "u", and "u" can also be written "v."
