Timucua languageとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Timucua is a language isolate formerly spoken in northern and central Florida and southern Georgia by the Timucua people. Timucua was the primary language used in the area at the time of Spanish arrival in Florida. Linguistic and archaeological studies suggest that it may have been spoken from around 2000 BC. There were nine or ten Timucua dialects, but the differences were slight, and they served mostly to delineate tribal boundaries. There is further suggestion that the Tawasa of what is now northern Alabama may have spoken Timucua, but this is disputed.
