Mobilian was used from Florida westward as far as Texas to facilitate trade between tribes speaking different languages. European exploring parties, such as that of de Soto, often had Mobilian-speaking guides along as interpreters.
Mobilian is a pidginized form of Choctaw and Chickasaw that also contains elements of Algonquian and colonial languages including English, Spanish, and French. It has a simplified syllable and sound structure and a simplified grammar as compared to Choctaw, its primary parent language.
Mobilian, a Basalt resident and diehard New York Giants fan, was in the stands at the Super Bowl on Sunday night and was captured on national television right after the game holding up a sign that said it all 18-1.
Mobilian, who attended the game in Glendale, Ariz., with Garrett Reuss of Basalt, said he woke up on the morning of the game trying to think of a sign that would get him on TV and noticed by his family and friends.
Mobilian and Reuss were sitting about 20 rows up in one end zone, but occasionally ran down to the front row to wave their sign.
The Mobilian language was a trade language[?] used as a lingua franca among Native American groups living along the Gulf of Mexico around the time of European settlement of the region.
