Apparently a few words of Tasmanian were recorded before the language died out. Have you had a look at those word lists, and if so, did you incorporate the words into your Tasmanian project? Also, I heard from a professor of mine that Tasmanian was probably non-Pama-Nyungan, and that it may even have been a Papuan language rather than an Australian language. Have you looked into this issue at all? What resources have you used, besides your imagination, in constructing your Tasmanian language? Matt.
