I love listening to this. Right now me and 14 others are intensely learning the Choctaw language 40 hours a week at the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma Headquarters in Durant, Oklahoma. I love that I can pick out words and phrases here and there! And I love hearing the different dialect from Mississippi and Oklahoma Choctaw speakers. I wanted to find a video to listen to while I studied just so I had the language bouncing around in my head to feel more immersed. My grandmother was a full blood Choctaw with Choctaw as her first language. I know she would have been so happy to see where I am now. I am doing this for her but most definitely for myself and to attempt to keep this language alive! yakoke!
That's great! I commend you and your peers for dedicating your time and effort to learn the Choctaw language. Your grandmother would've loved to see you preserving your Choctaw heritage and learning the language. I hope it has been helpful in your studies, and thank you for watching!
With language and culture, you have to teach and immerse them when they are babies. That is how you put the Choctaw language and culture back into another generation.
This reminds me of being a kid and hearing the elders talk, u don't hear conversational Choctaw too much anymore where I live. I understood a lot of what they said but I don't speak it much anymore n this brought back so many memories.
I speak it my mom was full blooded I'm half because my dad was Caucasian but it's still around here just gotta find full bloods like my mom or half breeds like me
@@ambrawilliam1130 because Chickasaw and Choctaws and the Creeks all speak the muskogee language I'm half blooded my mom is full blooded but I'm pretty fluent in the language and it's basically like Spain and mexico or the US and Canada and UK we all speak the same language just there's a little difference in our spelling
Your wrong about that. Spain and Mexico do not speak the same language. Spain uses four main languages depending on what region. Chickasaw and and Chovtaw we can still understand each other but not Creek. They don't speak the same tongue as us. Well they hardly and actually speak their own language to be honest. Their language is a dying language as their tribal members hardly speak it actually.
This is great, your laguage is very similar to quechua by the sound of it, quechua is the native language of many people in the mountains in Peru. I would love to learn more
That is great! Wish I could be of more assistance, but I'm actually not sure either. This video was created by our Tribal Language Program and there are plans to release more content such as this at a later date, but I'm unsure of when that will be.
We have Eastern dialect and Choctaw Nation is Western dialect a lot of words or phrases have a different meaning. We aren't 6 town at all. This is from Mississippi Eastern dialect that we speak where as Choctaw Nation speaks Western.
I love listening to this.

I would love to see the Choctaw language taught on Babbl like the Chickasaw is .
If you can understand he Chickasaw language it's actually not hard to understand Choctaw

Love hearing the language spoken!

I’d want to learn ur language too
Very interesting. I like the sound of your language. Thanks for showing.
I enjoyed the video. God willing I will learn the language one day.
Choctaw descendant from Alabama. Thank you for sharing.💚💙 earth & sky
Beautiful! I’m learning Mobilian jargon and i recognize the similarities. The basis for Mobilian is mainly choctaw and chickasaw afterall! Yakoki! :)
I love y'all
are there any other online conversations in Chahta like this? I'm very interested in listening and speaking Chahta anumpa more often.
That is great! Wish I could be of more assistance, but I'm actually not sure either. This video was created by our Tribal Language Program and there are plans to release more content such as this at a later date, but I'm unsure of when that will be.
@@ChoctawCulturalLegacy Yakoke micha That's awesome to hear, looking forward to the new content!

Do you say, "anato", instead of "sv hohchifo vt"? because its shorter?
@@shredderboi32 - MS. Why do you ask, Adam?
Haloka A. Just asking. So am I.
But I figured you’d know that each Chatah has similar way of speaking. Dialect wise.
@@shredderboi32 Ahn, I know. I'd like to learn old, original Okla Hannali district Chahta anumpa.
@@SmashinAdams "anato" just means "i am", "sv hohcifo" means "my name is", to me both make sense?
We have Eastern dialect and Choctaw Nation is Western dialect a lot of words or phrases have a different meaning. We aren't 6 town at all. This is from Mississippi Eastern dialect that we speak where as Choctaw Nation speaks Western.
