Seminole language

The Seminole language is part of the Muskogean language family and is traditionally spoken by the Seminole people of Florida and Oklahoma. It has two main dialects: the Florida Seminole and the Oklahoma Seminole, which are mutually intelligible but have unique features. The language uses a Latin-based alphabet and has a rich oral tradition. Historically, it faced decline due to European colonization and forced assimilation, but revitalization efforts are ongoing. Learning Seminole helps preserve cultural identity and connects people to their heritage, history, and community.
