Hitchiti
The Hitchiti were an indigenous tribe formerly residing chiefly in a town of the same name on the east bank of the Chattahoochee River, 4 miles below ''Chiaha'', in western present-day Georgia. The natives possessed a narrow strip of good land bordering on the river. These people had a reputation of being honest and industrious. Their autonym was possibly Atcik-hata, while the Coushatta knew them as the At-pasha-shliha, "mean people".〔Swanton, John R. ''Indian Tribes of North America''. (Washington: U.S. Govt. Printing Off., 1953).〕
==Language==
The Hitchiti language, one of the many languages spoken by the Muscogee tribe, was spoken in Georgia and Florida during the Colonial Period by tribes including the Hitchiti, Chiaha, Oconee, Sawokli, Apalochicola, and Miccosukee. Based on the amount of places that have derived from the Hitchiti language, scholars believe this language could have spread over a much larger area than Georgia and Florida during the colonial times.
The Hitchiti language was part of the Muskogean language family; it is considered a dialect of the Mikasuki language, with which it was mutually intelligible.〔Hardy, Heather & Janine Scancarelli. (2005). ''Native Languages of the Southeastern United States,'' Lincoln, NE: University of Nebraska Press, pp. 69-70〕 The Hitchiti and the Mikasuki tribes were both part of the loose Creek confederacy. The Mikasuki language was historically one of the major languages of the Seminole people and is still spoken by many Florida Seminoles and Miccosukees, though it is extinct among the Oklahoma Seminole.
Like the Creeks, the Hitchiti had an ancient "female" dialect. This dialect was still remembered and sometimes spoken by the older people, which used to be the language of the males as well. Their language with the "female" dialect was also known as the ancient language.
