Cheyenne, Wyoming? Ok, I'll shut up for the night.
Biloxi tribu y ciudad
Un nombre de significado incierto, al parecer de la lengua Choctaw. Se hacen llamar Taneks Haya, "la gente primero". Una tribu sioux pequeña antes que viven en el sur de Mississippi, ahora casi o totalmente extinguida. La Biloxi se supone que pertenecen a la población Muskhogean hasta Gatschet visitó a los sobrevivientes de la tribu en Luisiana en 1886 y encontró que muchas de las palabras se parecían a los fuertes en las lenguas sioux, una determinación plenamente justificada en 1892 por J. Owen Dorsey.

(A name of uncertain meaning, apparently from the Choctaw language. They call themselves Taneks haya, 'The first people.' A small Siouan tribe formerly living in south Mississippi, now nearly or quite extinct. The Biloxi were supposed to belong to the Muskhogean stock until Gatschet visited the survivors of the tribe in Louisiana in 1886 and found that many of the words bore strong resemblance to those in Siouan languages, a determination fully substantiated in 1892 by J. Owen Dorsey.)
