Just FYI, there are many Biloxis still around today--the Tunica
and Biloxi merged quite a while back but there are still pretty
clear Biloxi families. I'm not sure if anyone still speaks a
Biloxi language (or at least lets and anthropologist catch them
speaking it :-) but it woulnd't be surprising.
If you like Biloxi you might like Choctaw or another of the
Southern languages; Choctaw dictionaries are not hard to find.
Take Care,
