Port Sorell is an extinct aboriginal language of Tasmania in the reconstruction of Claire Bowern.[2] It was spoken near Port Sorell, in the center of the north coast, just east of Northern Tasmanian proper. Dixon & Crowley agree that there is unlikely to be a close connection to other varieties of Tasmanian.[3]
Port Sorell Tasmanian is attested from two word lists: One of 268[dubious ] words collected by Charles Robinson at Port Sorell, and another of only 77 words, the "Little Jemmie’s" vocabulary collected by George Augustus Robinson.[4]
