Chickasaw (ISO 639-3 code: [cic]), is a severely endangered language in the Muskogean family, with 70 or so fluent first language speakers remaining. The Muskogean languages have extraordinarily complex verbs, especially with regard to the intersection of their morphology (word structure) and phonology (sound system). Chickasaw is prosodically complex, with long vowels, geminate consonants, laryngeals (consonants produced with constriction near the glottis), pitch accent, nasalization and rhythmic lengthening, all of which intersect with a rich morphology that includes prefixes, suffixes and an elaborate system of internal changes known as verb grades. This project will investigate these elements of Muskogean verbs. Verb morphology is vulnerable to loss through language attrition and since all of the Muskogean languages are either highly endangered or no longer spoken, it is important to document the verb information now.The project is a unique collaboration between the Chickasaw Language Revitalization Program (CLRP) located in Ada, Oklahoma, and The University of Texas at Arlington. Linguist Colleen Fitzgerald of UT Arlington and CLRP Director Joshua Hinson have designed a documentation project that will increase our understanding of the Chickasaw verb and make available a significantly-sized database of verbs, both in number of verbs and in the number of inflected forms per verb. This project will collect verbs in paradigms and connected speech (e.g. narratives). Analyzing paradigms will increase knowledge of Muskogean verbal structure, theoretically important for linguistics. Documenting and analyzing texts will record Chickasaw speakers' traditional knowledge and experiences in context, essential to indigenous language revitalization.

奇克索语（英语：Chickasaw，ISO 639-3编码：[cic]）是一种严重濒危的语言，属于马斯科基语系，目前仍有大约70个母语流利的使用者。 马斯科吉语言的动词非常复杂，尤其是在形态（词结构）和音韵（语音系统）的交叉方面。 契卡索语的韵律很复杂，有长元音、双辅音、喉音（声门附近的辅音）、音高重音、鼻音化和节奏延长，所有这些都与丰富的形态学相交，包括前缀、后缀和一个复杂的内部变化系统，称为动词等级。 这个项目将研究这些元素的Muskogean动词。 动词形态很容易通过语言磨损而丢失，并且由于所有的Muskogean语言要么高度濒危，要么不再使用，所以现在记录动词信息是很重要的。该项目是位于俄克拉荷马州Ada的Chickasaw语言振兴计划（CLRP）和位于阿灵顿的德克萨斯大学之间的独特合作。UT阿灵顿的语言学家Colleen Fitzgerald和CLRP主任约书亚Hinson设计了一个文档项目，该项目将增加我们对Chickasaw动词的理解，并提供一个相当大的动词数据库，包括动词数量和每个动词的屈折形式数量。这个项目将收集动词的范例和连接的讲话（如叙述）。分析范式将增加对Muskogean动词结构的认识，这对语言学具有重要的理论意义。记录和分析文本将记录契卡索人的传统知识和经验，这对土著语言的振兴至关重要。
