The Chitimacha language is a language isolate historically spoken by the Chitimacha people of Louisiana, United States. It went extinct with the death of the last fluent speaker, Delphine Ducloux, in 1940.
Although no longer spoken, it is fairly extensively documented in the early-20th century work (mostly unpublished) of linguists Morris Swadesh and John R. Swanton. Swadesh in particular wrote a full grammar, dictionary, and collected numerous texts collected from the last two speakers, though none of this is published.
