> Abstract:
>
> 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 (from Gatschet's unpublished field notes and from Haas's 1968 article, "The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!
> 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.
