Summary: "Dictioary"?
Review: This "dictioary" is great except for one thing. Instead of being the Muskogee Creek Nation DICTIONARY, it is the Muskogee Creek Nation DICTIOARY. You would think a DICTIONARY would know how to spell its own name.

Summary: Best Thing To Happen To Creeks In Over 100 Years!
Review: This dictionary is an incredible improvement on the last version (1890).
I use mine all of the time! Information includes spellings so that any student of linguistics could do proper pronunciation. However, it isn't necessary to be a linguist to utilize it for increasing one's Creek vocabulary. Better definitions and more information are given for every word, something that may be overlooked by those unfamiliar with the dearth of resources previously available to students of the Creek language.
I own two copies at present, and am steadily wearing one out (and I have yet to find a mispelling of "dictionary" or any other word).
It's true that one can't learn a language or a culture from a dictionary alone, but this volume is very helpful to the serious student of Creek.

Summary: Creek Dictionary
Review: This excellent dictionary contains linguistic background, pronounciation and grammar guides, a section on proper names, and illustrations of cultural objects as well as substantial Creek-English and English-Creek dictionary sections. Although the book is called "A Dictionary of Creek/Muskogee," it also includes material on Seminole Creek (one of the two languages spoken by the Seminole people in Florida and Oklahoma).

Summary: Best Thing To Happen To Creeks In Over 100 Years!
Review: This is far the best ever dictionary of the Creek (Muskogee) language of Oklahoma and Florida. The authors are a native speaker and teacher of Creek, and a linguist specializing in the analysis of the language. The volume provides spellings in both the traditional and the technical (linguists') spelling systems, and is derived from 19th and 20th century writings in this language as well as the knowledge of contemporary speakers. This will be an essential tool for speakers, writers, teachers, and students of the Creek language, and for historians, anthropologists, and other who need to know the meanings and proper spellings of words in the Creek language.
