Abstract:<br>
<br>
Biloxi (ISO 639-3: bll) is a dormant Siouan language. The only known
resource available on the language has been A Dictionary of the Biloxi
and Ofo Languages (1912). The first linguist to document Biloxi in
Louisiana was Albert Gatschet in 1886, who discovered that Biloxi was actually
Siouan, not Muskogean as previously thought. The Reverend James O.
Dorsey further documented the language in Louisiana in 1892-93. His
dictionary, also incorporating some of Gatschet's previous work, was posthumously
edited and published by the linguist John Swanton in 1912. The revised
dictionary here contains most of the original Dorsey-Swanton data augmented
with new entries (from Gatschet's unpublished field notes and from Haas's
1968 article, "The Last Words of Biloxi"). The current dictionary
also regularizes the modified Americanist orthography. It contains
2,138 entries and includes my etymological analyses and notations, an English
index, comparative data from Siouan and other la!<br>
nguages, example sentences, cross-referencing of entries, cultural information,
a brief grammatical sketch, as well as appendices on, for example, affixes,
flora and fauna, medicinal plants, and human body parts.<br>

Thank you.<br>
