The result of over ten years of research, A Dictionary of Creek/Muskogee draws on the expertise of a linguist and a native Creek speaker to yield the first modern dictionary of the language of the southeastern United States.  The dictionary contains over seven thousand Creek-English entries, over four thousand English-Creek entries, and over four hundred Creek place-names in Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and Oklahoma.  The volume also includes illustrations, a map, antonyms, dialects, stylistic information, word histories, and other useful reference material.  Entries are given in both the traditional Creek spelling and a modern phonemic transcription.   A Dictionary of Creek/Muskogee is the standard reference work for the Creek language.

Jack B. Martin is an associate professor of English at the College of William and Mary and a specialist in southeastern Native languages.  Margaret McKane Mauldin is an adjunct instructor of Creek at the University of Oklahoma.
