The Wenro language is an extinct Northern Iroquoian language formerly spoken by the Wenrohronon that was mutually intelligible with the Wendat language, spoken by the Wendat.
Etymology
[edit]Wenrohronon may be derived from the name of a village, Ouaroronon, recorded by Recollet missionary Joseph de La Roche Daillon as located a day's journey from the Iroquois, although the name is likely to have been the ethnonym of people from the village (cf. Huron 8enro‛ronon).[1]
