Biloxi is a now dormant Siouan language. This is a newly enhanced and expanded Third Edition of the revised Biloxi-English dictionary originally published in 2011, incorporating the language notes of the linguists Albert Gatschet, James Owen Dorsey, John Swanton, Mary Haas, and Morris Swadesh. This is a more user-friendly revised dictionary based on the original dictionary published by James Dorsey and John Swanton in 1912. It is intended for use by language learners, linguists, anthropologists, historians, and anyone else interested in this fascinating Siouan language once spoken on the Gulf of Mexico in Mississippi. Today, Biloxis are united with Tunicas as the Tunica-Biloxi Tribe, established in 1981, headquartered in Marksville, Louisiana.
