(Hi! I am Chahtawordoftheday!)

Each new generation is responsible for proliferating their stories. I created this blog because, as a Native, this is hard to do alone. Want to brush up on Chahta anumpa (The Choctaw language) with me? Then this is the blog for you! Look forward to daily vocab, reposted lessons of the day from The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma's website, and a spotlight on Native art/resources.

Speaking of which, here are my favorite Chahta language learning resources:

Here is an online dictionary-makes it easy to check for words/definitions every day! (I know I do)

The Choctaw Dictionary - Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma

Here is another site I find myself on often-if you are a IPA nerd like I am then you will love this phonic! (and even if you are not, it can still help your understanding of Choctaw words when written vs spoken)

Choctaw Pronunciation Guide, Alphabet and Phonology

Here is the home language page on the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma's site-Look here for common phrases, the lesson of the day, and for who to contact in order to request translations!

Feel free to tag me in simple posts you'd like translations too, like a picture of a cat (katos) or a snake (sinti), request subjects for the word of the day, and to otherwise dm me! I can't wait to go on this journey with you!

Chi pisa la chike, yakoke! (goodbye and thank you!)

My French text book says « mais ce serait trop simple si c’était systématique, n’est-ce pas?! » and I think that’s the French language’s motto
