尤奇语

Yuchi or Euchee (endonym: Tsohaya) is the language of the Yuchi people now living in Oklahoma. Historically, they lived in what is now known as the Southeastern United States, including eastern Tennessee, the western Carolinas, northern Georgia, and Alabama, during the period of early European colonization. Many speakers of the Yuchi language became allied with the Muscogee Creek when they migrated into their territory in Georgia and Alabama. They were forcibly relocated with them to Indian Territory in the early 19th century.

In 2009, linguist Mary Linn reported that there were approximately five fluent speakers of Yuchi remaining, and highlighted community-led efforts to teach the language to younger generations. Some audio tapes in the Yuchi language exist in the collections of the Columbus State University Archives in Columbus, Georgia.
