Apalachee was a Muskogean language of the American Southeast.
Very little is known of it today. Apalachee ceased to be spoken by the community in the early 18th century, although a few words
survived among their descendants. Early Spanish transcripts of the language suggest that it was most closely related to
Hitchiti and
Alabama.
Like other Muskogean languages, Alabama was a language with morphologically complex verbs and SOV word order.
