English: Cathecism in the now-extinct language of Timucua, spoken in Florida. One of two published in 1627 written by Francisco Pareja. This is notable for being one of the first such publications to be almost completely written in Timucua, with only short Spanish passages providing a summary, compared to previous such texts which were translated in parallel. It is also notable for containing an abundance of words with accent marking, giving an insight into the stress patterns of the language.
