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?
