Ofo (Ofogoula, Ofoe)
Ofo was a Siouan language once spoken in what is now Arkansas and Mississippi.
Little is known about the Ofo tribe today. They were allies of the
Natchez and
Tunicas; but there was a falling-out among the three tribes over
fighting with the French, and the Ofos were evidently absorbed into the Tunica tribe in the mid-1700's. Unusually, the Ofo language survived
among the Tunicas till the beginning of the 20th century, but both languages are extinct today.
