We probably need a ticket to add Chicasaw to the territory-language info for US, if we don't already have one (otherwise this will get overwritten)

I have a couple of observations to make after looking at the Chickasaw: An Analytical Dictionary with an excerpt available on the publisher’s website or the part visible on Amazon.

The description of the Chickasaw orthography on page x of the Chickasaw: An Analytical Dictionary indicates the following:

Some vowels in certain Chickasaw verbs have an accent (indicated in the dictionary with a ´ over the vowel letter, or, in certain verb forms where two consonants follow an accented vowel (¶2.61), with a ^ over that vowel). Accent is marked only in main entries and cross-references in the dictionary, not in example sentences or in etymologies. Chickasaw nouns do not have distinctive accent, and both they and unaccented verbs are always stressed on their last syllable.

  1. Although the use of acute in the Chickasaw: An Analytical Dictionary seems to justify having [á í ó] in the auxiliary exemplar character set, having them in the data itself indicates they should be in the default exemplar character set.
    The [á í ó] are used in the following data:
<month type="1">Hashiʼ Ámmoʼnaʼ</month>
<month type="3">Hashiʼ Atochchíʼnaʼ</month>
<month type="6">Hashiʼ Ahannáʼliʼ</month>
<month type="8">Hashiʼ Aontochchíʼnaʼ</month>
<month type="9">Hashiʼ Achakkáʼliʼ</month>
<month type="10">Hashiʼ Apokkóʼliʼ</month>
  1. The vowels with circumflex [â î ô] should be in the same exemplar character set as [á í ó].
    For example ôkcha and nannâbli on page lxviii of the Chickasaw: An Analytical Dictionary.

  2. [{á\u0331} {í\u0331} {ó\u0331}] should be in the same set as [á í ó] because nasal vowels marked with underline or macron below can have pitch accent marked with the acute accent.
    For example abakshowá̱li on the bottom or the right column on page 3, holí̱sso and hohó̱lhfo on page 112 of the Chickasaw: An Analytical Dictionary.
    See also ithá̱na and á̱attook on page 289 of M. Gordon, P. Munro and P. Ladefoged (2001). Chickasaw. Journal of the International Phonetic Association, 31, pp. 287-290 https://doi.org/10.1017/S0025100301002110

Thanks for the comments. At this point, I would suggest a follow up ticket in Jira for any necessary exemplar changes. Craig I think is meeting with the nations last week or this week.

Log into ST - Verify that Chickasaw (cic) is a valid locale choice, and then exemplar characters show up.

Yeah, I think this data comes directly from representatives of the Chickasaw Nation via Craig and should reflect current usage.
