HEBUANO
A Timucua Language Resource Guide
Hebuano!
Welcome to Hebuano, an open-access, pedagogical resource for Timucua language materials. Timucua, an Indigenous language isolate spoken in what is now northern Florida and southern Georgia, once had more than 200,000 speakers. Most of the materials documenting this language come from a corpus of documents written in the 16th and 17th century by Spanish missionaries and Native authors. This site is part of an ongoing conversation about how to read, understand, teach, and share materials in Timucua.
