Chickasaw (ISO 639-3 code: [cic]), is a severely endangered language in the Muskogean family, with 70 or so fluent first language speakers remaining. The Muskogean languages have extraordinarily complex verbs, especially with regard to the intersection of their morphology (word structure) and phonology (sound system). Chickasaw is prosodically complex, with long vowels, geminate consonants, laryngeals (consonants produced with constriction near the glottis), pitch accent, nasalization and rhythmic lengthening, all of which intersect with a rich morphology that includes prefixes, suffixes and an elaborate system of internal changes known as verb grades. This project will investigate these elements of Muskogean verbs. Verb morphology is vulnerable to loss through language attrition and since all of the Muskogean languages are either highly endangered or no longer spoken, it is important to document the verb information now.The project is a unique collaboration between the Chickasaw Language Revitalization Program (CLRP) located in Ada, Oklahoma, and The University of Texas at Arlington. Linguist Colleen Fitzgerald of UT Arlington and CLRP Director Joshua Hinson have designed a documentation project that will increase our understanding of the Chickasaw verb and make available a significantly-sized database of verbs, both in number of verbs and in the number of inflected forms per verb. This project will collect verbs in paradigms and connected speech (e.g. narratives). Analyzing paradigms will increase knowledge of Muskogean verbal structure, theoretically important for linguistics. Documenting and analyzing texts will record Chickasaw speakers' traditional knowledge and experiences in context, essential to indigenous language revitalization.

奇卡索语（ISO 639-3 代码：[cic]）是马斯科吉语族中的一种严重濒临灭绝的语言，目前仅剩 70 名左右能流利使用第一语言的语言。 马斯科基语言拥有极其复杂的动词，特别是在形态（词结构）和音系（声音系统）的交叉方面。 Chickasaw 韵律复杂，有长元音、双辅音、喉音（声门附近收缩产生的辅音）、音高重音、鼻音化和节奏延长，所有这些都与丰富的形态相交叉，包括前缀、后缀和复杂的内部系统。称为动词等级的变化。 该项目将研究 Muskogean 动词的这些元素。 动词形态很容易因语言消耗而丢失，并且由于所有马斯科吉亚语言要么高度濒临灭绝，要么不再使用，因此现在记录动词信息非常重要。该项目是奇卡索语言复兴计划 (CLRP) 之间的独特合作位于俄克拉荷马州艾达和德克萨斯大学阿灵顿分校。德克萨斯大学阿灵顿分校的语言学家 Colleen Fitzgerald 和 CLRP 主任 Joshua Hinson 设计了一个文档项目，该项目将增加我们对 Chickasaw 动词的理解，并提供一个庞大的动词数据库，包括动词数量和每个动词的屈折形式数量。该项目将收集范例和相关言语（例如叙述）中的动词。分析范式将增加对马斯科格言语结构的了解，这在理论上对语言学很重要。记录和分析文本将记录奇克索语使用者的传统知识和经验，这对于土著语言的振兴至关重要。
