Oklahoma 〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=August 10, 2007 )〕 (Cherokee: ''Asgaya gigageyi'' / ᎠᏍᎦᏯ ᎩᎦᎨᏱ;〔http://www.omniglot.com/writing/cherokee.htm〕 or translated ᎣᎦᎳᎰᎹ (''òɡàlàhoma''), Pawnee: ''Uukuhuúwa'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=American Indian Studies Research Institute )Cayuga: ''Gahnawiyoˀgeh''〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=May 27, 2012 )〕) is a state located in the South Central United States.〔(2007 Economic Census: Regions and Divisions ), United States Census Bureau 〕 Oklahoma is the 20th most extensive and the 28th most populous of the 50 United States. The state's name is derived from the Choctaw words ''okla'' and ''humma'', meaning "red people".〔 It is also known informally by its nickname, ''The Sooner State'', in reference to the non-Native settlers who staked their claims on the choicest pieces of land prior to the official opening date, and the Indian Appropriations Act of 1889, which opened the door for white settlement in America's Indian Territory. The name was settled upon statehood, Oklahoma Territory and Indian Territory were merged and Indian was dropped from the name. On November 16, 1907, Oklahoma became the 46th state to enter the union. Its residents are known as ''Oklahomans'', or informally "Okies", and its capital and largest city is Oklahoma City.
A major producer of natural gas, oil, and agricultural products, Oklahoma relies on an economic base of aviation, energy, telecommunications, and biotechnology.〔 In 2007, it had one of the fastest-growing economies in the United States, ranking among the top states in per capita income growth and gross domestic product growth.〔 Oklahoma City and Tulsa serve as Oklahoma's primary economic anchors, with nearly two-thirds of Oklahomans living within their metropolitan statistical areas.
With small mountain ranges, prairie, mesas, and eastern forests, most of Oklahoma lies in the Great Plains, Cross Timbers and the U.S. Interior Highlands—a region especially prone to severe weather.〔 In addition to having a prevalence of English, German, Scottish, Scotch-Irish, and Native American ancestry, more than 25 Native American languages are spoken in Oklahoma,〔 second only to California.
Oklahoma is located on a confluence of three major American cultural regions and historically served as a route for cattle drives, a destination for southern settlers, and a government-sanctioned territory for Native Americans.
==Etymology==
The name ''Oklahoma'' comes from the Choctaw phrase ''okla'' ''humma'', literally meaning ''red people''. Choctaw Chief Allen Wright suggested the name in 1866 during treaty negotiations with the federal government regarding the use of Indian Territory, in which he envisioned an all-Indian state controlled by the United States Superintendent of Indian Affairs. Equivalent to the English word ''Indian'', ''okla humma'' was a phrase in the Choctaw language used to describe Native American people as a whole. ''Oklahoma'' later became the de facto name for Oklahoma Territory, and it was officially approved in 1890, two years after the area was opened to white settlers.
