This dictionary contains over 8,000 terms in Muscogee with the English translation. It is based on the dictionary originally published in 1914 by Rev. R. M. LOUGHRIDGE, D.D. We have added a number of new words and parts of speech. It is extracted from our Words R Us system which is based on Princeton’s Wordnet and the Muscogee Wordnet.

This dictionary is published in both digital and paper formats. The DVD version includes a PDF of Dr. Lauguridge's original dictionary and also an Excel spreadsheet with the current published dictionary. The source files for both of these systems are released under a General Public License.

Preface to the Original Edition

This book is the result of improving the odd moments for many years, in collecting together the words of this wonderful language.

The beginning of it was a small collection of words by Rev. John Fleming, the first Presbyterian Missionary to the Creeks, in 1832, after they moved west of the Mississippi. To that collection I have been making additions from time to time, as opportunity offered, in connection with my many duties as a minister to the people, and superintendent of several boarding schools among them.

In sending forth this Dictionary to the public, I am fully aware that it is far from that state of perfection so desirable in a Lexicon. But as we learn from the history of all Dictionaries, they are like young children growing up to manhood: they must pass through many changes, additions, corrections and eliminations before they attain to the maturity and perfection of Webster's great Unabridged. Believing, therefore, that this English and Muskokee Dictionary will be one of immense advantage to all the Indians and white people, in the country, and a very important book for all the schools in the nation; I respectfully recommend and dedicate it to the Muskokee people, among whom I have spent the best years of my long life.
