The Indian languages have given many words toEnglish. Twenty four of theAmerican States almost half, have Indian names, Okalahoma, theDakotas, Idaho, Wisconsin, Ohio and Tennessee, to name a few.And the names of many rivers, streams, mountains, cities and towns are Indian.
However, there are many people who dispute the idea that "Okay" came from the In di ans. Some say the PresidentAndrew Jackson first used the word "Okay."
