喬克托語(英語:Choctaw;喬克托語:Chahta')是一種馬斯科基語族的語言,傳統上通行於美國東南部的原住民族群之一喬克托人之間。儘管有人將契卡索語(Chickasaw)列為喬克托語的其中一種方言,但更多的資料指出,應將契卡索和喬克托語給視為彼此相似但不同的語言。[3]
正寫法
[編輯]喬克托語的書寫系統基於拉丁字母,儘管喬克托語有多種不同的書寫系統,但目最常見的系統為拜印頓系統(Byington)、拜印頓─蘇萬敦系統(Byington/Swanton)和密西西比喬克托族的現代系統。
拜印頓系統(原始)Byington (Original)
[編輯]拜印頓─蘇萬敦系統(語言學者所使用)Byington/Swanton (Linguistic)
[編輯]現代系統(密西西比喬克托族)
[編輯]現代系統變體(語言學者所使用)
[編輯]許多語言學方面的刊物使用的是此處列出的該套現代系統的變體,在此變體中,長母音常藉由兩個母音並寫來表示;另在「語言學者所使用」的版本中,銳音符表示的是音高重音所在的位置,而非母音的長短。
本文以下討論喬克托語語法的部份使用的系統為語言學者用的現代系統變體。
