[edit]

I have reverted the edit that changed the origin of "Allapattah" from Seminole language to Muscogee. Most sources I found (generally not the best, IMHO) say it is a "Seminole" word. I do not know if Muscogee language or Mikasuki language is the most likely source for the English name, but I will note that most Seminoles who remained in Florida after the Third Seminole War spoke Mikasuki as ther native language, and that during most of the 20th century the speakers of Muscogee (called Cow Creek Seminole in Florida) lived west of Lake Okeechobee. If the name Allapattah as applied to the area in present-day northwest Miami was used by Seminoles to refer to that area, then they were almost certainly Mikasuki speakers, not Muscogee speakers. But, we need a solid reliable source or two to choose between the two languages. Donald Albury 17:21, 10 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
