OK is a Native American word
The term OK has been internationalized and is used worldwide and in different languages.
The origin of the word has been attributed to an ironic expression "Oll Korrect" or a O Killed military Much more likely is the hypothesis that establishes its origin in the Choktaw language which was the spoken between ndigenous and European settlers in the central and southern North America in the colonial period.
The word Choctaw "Okay" means "it's a deal" or "very well".
As usual the descendants of the invaders consciously or unconsciously rejected the indigenous roots of the new American cultures, including the old etymologies.
In other words the word OK is of Native American origin. It should be known to open the curtains of concealment and cultural genocide of the continent.
We include this information as one more item in our book "Amerrique, Orphans of Paradise". Below is a transcript of a site dealing with the etymology of OK:
"The Dictionary of the Choctaw language published in 1915 gives the first evidence of that. As a Christian missionary working with the Choctaw of Mississippi, the author Cyrus Byington cataloged their language. According to him, and dictionaries published later, "Okeh" meant "its a deal" or "so and not otherwise". In conclusion, the etyumology of the word is Native American".
