George Aaron Broadwell is the Elling Eide Professor of Anthropology at the University of Florida. He won the 2023 Victor Golla Prize from the Society for the Study of the Indigenous Languages of the Americas and is the author of A Choctaw Reference Grammar (Nebraska, 2006).

“This grammar of Timucua is exhaustive, and it is impressive how George Aaron Broadwell has derived the grammar from imperfectly bilingual sources. His extensive database of Timucua texts has helped him greatly in explaining the grammar of this long-extinct language isolate. He does not shy away from the difficulties inherent in working with seventeenth-century material but discusses them in detail.”-Geoffrey D. Kimball, author of Koasati Grammar “Very important to the early history of Florida, this analysis of Timucua will make it possible for others to work on the language and unlock previously inaccessible materials. . . . A remarkable achievement. George Aaron Broadwell has made a thorough search of archival Spanish materials, gathered transcriptions and translations into a database, and-in a process that can be likened to decipherment-has worked out plausible interpretations of the meanings of words and affixes.”-Jack B. Martin, author of A Grammar of Creek (Muskogee)
