The Muscogee language is a member of the [[Muskogean]] family and was well known among the frontiersmen, such as [[Gideon Lincecum]], of the early 19th century. The language is related to the [[Choctaw language]], with some words being identical in pronunciation. The following table is an example of Muscogee text and its translation:

'''English''': Someone was hunting. He went hunting in far away places. He went continually, killing small game, and he had many dogs. And the dogs were hunting dogs, so he had killed many animals. When hunting, he always knew his dogs had an animal trapped by the sound of their barking.<ref name=creek_language />
