The Haush language (also Manek'enk) was an indigenous language spoken by the Haush people and was formerly spoken on the island of Tierra del Fuego.〔Adelaar and Muysken 41〕 The Haush were considered the oldest inhabitants of Tierra del Fuego; they inhabited the far eastern tip of the Mitre Peninsula on the island. They made regular hunting trips to Isla de los Estados. Before 1850, an estimated 300 people spoke Haush.〔Adelaar and Muysken 555〕 The last speaker of Haush died around 1920 and the language is considered extinct.〔Adelaar and Muysken 554〕 Haush is considered to be related to the Selknam, Gününa Yajich, Teushen, and Tehuelche languages, which collectively belong to the Chonan language family.〔Adelaar and Muysken 556〕 ''P'all'' is a Haush word that means "(to be) black."〔Adelaar and Muysken 559〕 ==See also== *Yaghan language *Selknam language *Kawésqar language 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Haush language」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
