Atakapa (/əˈtækəpə, -pɑː/,[1][2] natively Yukhiti[3]) is an extinct language isolate native to southwestern Louisiana and nearby coastal eastern Texas. It was spoken by the Atakapa people (also known as Ishak, after their word for "the people"). The language became extinct in the early 20th century.[4]
