Gnau is a language spoken in Papua New Guinea. It is part of the Torricelli language family. "Gnau" is the word for "no" in the language, and was named this via naming by convention. [2] The Gnau people do not identify themselves as a unified group across multiple settlements, despite their shared language. [3]

Rennellese Sign Language is an extinct form of home sign documented from Rennell Island in the Solomon Islands in 1974. It was developed about 1915 by a deaf person named Kagobai and used by his hearing family and friends, but apparently died with him; he was the only deaf person on the island, and there never was an established, self-replicating community of signers. Accordingly, in January 2017 its ISO 639-3 code [rsi] was retired. Kuschel, the only source of information about this communication system, cites no evidence to suggest that there was any contact with any sign language.
