Ayukpachi!

Welcome to the online Chickasaw Dictionary! Originally published in 1973 by Reverend Jesse J. Humes and his wife Vinnie May (James) Humes, the Chickasaw Dictionary is now accessible online with this easy to use digital tool.

The dictionary can be used to search for specific words or browsed alphabetically in both Chickasaw and English. Each dictionary entry includes both the Chickasaw and English translation, as well as the phonetic pronunciation. Many dictionary entries also have an accompanying audio file to listen to the correct Chickasaw pronunciation.

This digital dictionary is just one of many language resources and services that reflect the Chickasaw Nation's continued commitment to technological innovation and cultural preservation-from Rosetta Stone Chickasaw and the Chickasaw.tv Language Channel to the Chickasaw Language Basics App, Chickasaw Kids and more!

Though its roots are ancient, the Chickasaw language is very much alive today. It is the thread that binds us together, and by speaking and sharing the language, the Chickasaw people are ensuring its survival for many years to come.

Thank you,

Bill Anoatubby, Governor
The Chickasaw Nation
