The Taensa are stated to be a branch of the Natchez.
The Caouitas are, perhaps, word for word the Conchattas; also the Coosa, Coosada, Coshatta.
The Stincards are, word for word, the Tancards=Tuncas=Tunicas.
Dr. Sibley gives us Chetimacha as a name; along with specimens of the Chetimacha, Uche, Natchez, Adahi, and Attacapa as languages.
Word for word, Chetimacha seems to Checimeca; Appelusa, Apalach; Biluxi (perhaps the same); Pascagoula, Muscogulge. How, however, did Chichimeca get so far westwards?
We are scarcely, in the condition to speculate much concerning details of the kind. It is sufficient to repeat the notice that the native languages of the parts in question are in a fragmentary condition; the Uche being the chief representative of them. Whether it were Savaneric[49], or not, is uncertain. It is, certainly, not Shawanno, or Shawno, i. e. Algonkin. On the contrary it is, as is to be expected, from the encroachments and displacements of its neighbourhood a very isolated language—not, however without miscellaneous affinities—inter alia the following.
