Alabama, also known as Alibamu, (endonym: Albaamo innaaɬiilka) is a Muskogean language, spoken by the Alabama–Coushatta Tribe of Texas. It was once spoken by the Alabama–Quassarte Tribal Town of Oklahoma, but there are no more Alabama speakers in Oklahoma. It is believed to have been closely related to the Muklasa and Tuskegee languages, which are now extinct. Alabama is closely related to Koasati and Apalachee, and more distantly to other Muskogean languages like Hitchiti, Chickasaw and Choctaw.
