乔克托语（英语：Choctaw；乔克托语：Chahta'）是一种马斯科基语族的语言，传统上通行于美国东南部的原住民族群之一乔克托人之间。尽管有人将契卡索语（Chickasaw）列为乔克托语的其中一种方言，但更多的资料指出，应将契卡索和乔克托语给视为彼此相似但不同的语言。[3]
正写法
乔克托语的书写系统基于拉丁字母，尽管乔克托语有多种不同的书写系统，但目最常见的系统为拜印顿系统（Byington）、拜印顿─苏万敦系统（Byington/Swanton）和密西西比乔克托族的现代系统。

现代系统变体（语言学者所使用）
许多语言学方面的刊物使用的是此处列出的该套现代系统的变体，在此变体中，长母音常借由两个母音并写来表示；另在“语言学者所使用”的版本中，锐音符表示的是音高重音所在的位置，而非母音的长短。
本文以下讨论乔克托语语法的部分使用的系统为语言学者用的现代系统变体。
