has gloss	eng: An extinct Native American languge of Florida. 16th and 17th centuries AD.
has gloss	eng: Timucua is a language isolate formerly spoken in northern and central Florida, southern Georgia, and eastern Alabama by the Timucua people. Timucua was the primary language used in the area at the time of Spanish arrival, and linguistic and archaeological studies suggest that it may have been spoken from around 2,000 BC. There were eleven Timucua dialects but the differences were slight and they mostly served to delineate tribal boundaries. There exist today only nine primary sources of information about the Timucua language, including a Spanish-translated Timucuan letter to the Spanish crown in 1688 and two catechisms written in Timucua and Spanish by Father Gregorio de Movilla in 1635. Most of what is known of the language, however, comes from the works of Father Francisco Pareja, a Franciscan missionary who came to St. Augustine in 1595 and served the Timucua for thirty-one years. He wrote several Spanish-Timucua catechisms, as well as a grammar of the Timucua language.

has gloss	rus: Тимукуа — изолированный язык, распространённый ранее в северной и центральной Флориде, юго-запад Джорджии, восток Алабамы среди народности тимукуа. К моменту испанской колонизации тимукуа был основным языком на данной территории — лингвистические и археологические свидетельства говорят, что он мог появиться в этих местах уже около 2000 до н. э. Существовало 11 диалектов, однако различия между ними были малыми, в основном диалекты служили для различения между племенами.
