List of Tamil words in Biloxi language
by
Dr. Variankaval Ramasamy Annadurai; MD; DPM;
The Biloxi tribe are Native Americans and they call themselves by the autonym Tanêks(a) in Siouan Biloxi language. When first encountered by Europeans in 1699, the Biloxi inhabited an area near the coast of the Gulf of Mexico near what is now the city of Biloxi, Mississippi. They were eventually forced west into Louisiana and eastern Texas. The Biloxi language--Tanêksayaa ade--has been extinct since the 1930s, when the last known native semi-speaker, Emma Jackson, died.
Biloxi was a Siouan language spoken in Mississippi and Alabama.The Biloxi tribe was devastated by a smallpox epidemic, and the survivors migrated westward and merged with the Tunica Indians, with whom they share a Louisiana reservation today. Though the Tunica and Biloxi Indians were friends and allies, their languages were entirely unrelated, and since they were unable to communicate effectively in their native languages, both tribes shifted to French. The Biloxi language has not been spoken in more than a century.
