The language is known primarily from one document, a letter written in 1688 to Charles II of Spain. Geoffrey Kimball has produced a grammatical sketch[2] and a vocabulary of the language[3] based on the contents of the letter.

Apalachee was found to belong to the same branch of the Muskogean family as Koasati, Alabama, and Hitchiti.[4]
