Chitimacha language Chitimacha Gulf is a proposed native North America n language family composed of the Muskogean languages , along with four extinct language isolates Natchez language Natchez , Tunica language Tunica , Atakapa language Atakapa , and possibly Chitimacha language Chitimacha . Gulf was proposed as a language family by Mary Haas Haas 1951, 1952 , but the family has not been rigorously established by the comparative method. Historical linguists such as Lyle Campbell Campbell and Mithun 1979, Campbell 1997 list the relationship as unproven, though a number of Muskogean scholars believe that Muskogean is at least related to Natchez Campbell 1997 305 . However, a number of specialists on Muskogean languages , including Mary Haas and Pamela Munro Munro 1995 have regarded the hypothesis of a Gulf family of languages as promising Haas thought the closest language to Muskogean would be Natchez, followed by Tunica, Atakapa, and, rather dubiously, Chitimacha. A difficulty in evaluating the hypothesis is the lack of available data. Most of the data on Chitimacha and Natchez is still unpublished and held in archives. Bibliography Campbell, Lyle. 1997.
