[edit] Discussion
Hello, For Australians, historically and otherwise.Truganini is the correct pronunciation of her name.For a viewpoint from a novelists perspective who researched this story meticuously.Try "The Savage Crows" by Robert Drewe. "Friendly mission:The Tasmanian Journals and papers of George Augustus Robinson 1829-1834, edited by N.J.B. Plomley. Truganini is the way to go, I lived over there for quite a while and that is what has gone into the lexicon.
I agree - I have never heard of "Trugernanna" before - Truganini is the pronounciation and spelling that I have always seen - again, a life-long Tasmanian resident. I will correct all the 'Trugernanna' sitings that I see. A google search seems to agree with me - 3000+ hits for Truganini, 100 for Truganinni, 14 for Trugernanna. --Chuq 23:43, 23 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Why not consult with the Tasmanian Aboriginal community and find out what the correct spelling and pronunciation, as accepted by them, is? The only spelling I have seen used by Aborigines in Tasmania is Trugernanna.
[edit] What
does "the last first-generation tribal Tasmanian Aborigine" mean?—Nat Krause(Talk!) 23:30, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
- It's a very contorted way of saying that she was the last Tasmanian Aborigine on Tasmania. A few others survived outside Tasmania, thats why there are still some Tasmanian Aborigines.--Peta 00:11, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
