Palawa Kani (Tasmanian Language)
Palawa kani is an attempt to revive various Tasmanian dialects in a single combined form.
The original Tasmanian languages, which may have number a dozen or more, became extinct in 1905 when the last native speaker died. As part of community efforts to retrieve as much of the original Tasmanian culture as possible, efforts are made to (re)construct a language for the indigenous community. Due to the scarcity of records, Palawa kani is being constructed as a composite of the estimated 6 to 12 original languages.
Theresa Sainty and Jenny Longey were the first two "language workers" to work on the project in 1999.
