    They were prominent speakers of Mobilian Jargon, to the extent that this was sometimes referred to as Bayogoula. In their own language the Bayogoula expressed astonishment by the word ⟨Affero⟩ (La Rochefoucault de Surgeres in Margry 1876-86, 4:260; Swanton 1911:276), which does not appear to be Muskogean or Natchesan.
