Nuenonne ("Nyunoni"), or Southeast Tasmanian, is an extinct Aboriginal language of Tasmania. It was spoken along the southeastern mainland of the island by the Bruny tribe.
Mainland Southeast Tasmanian is attested by 202 words collected by François Péron (1802) and by 573 words in various vocabularies collected by the D’Entrecasteaux expedition of 1792–1793 and published by Labillardière in 1800 and by Rossel in 1808.[2] The French transcriptions of these sources differ from the English respellings seen in the records of other varieties of Tasmanian. The language has been reconstructed by Claire Bowern.[3]
