The Yuchi language is the language of the Yuchi people originally native to various areas of the southeastern United States. However, speakers of the Yuchi language relocated to Oklahoma on the Trail of Tears. Due to assimilation into English-speaking culture, only a few elderly speakers of the Yuchi language remain.

Yuchi is not known to be related to any other language. Some linguists have tried to prove links to other American language families such as Souian, but no conclusive evidence has emerged.
