Vocabulary Words in Native American Languages: Mobilian Trade Language

We have included twenty basic words, enough to give you a feeling for each language. All the nouns are singular and all the verbs are 3rd person singular ("he or she sings") because many Native American languages don't have a separate infinitive ("to sing") the way English and French do.

If you need to know a Mobilian word that is not currently on our page, you can take part in our Native American translation fundraiser, buy a Mobilian dictionary, or visit our main Mobilian Jargon site for more free resources.

Thanks for your interest in Native American languages!
