Tambora is an extinct Papuan language, included in the West Papuan branch of Papuan languages, once spoken by the Tamboran people of central Sumbawa in what is now Indonesia. It was made extinct by the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora. It was the westernmost known Papuan language^[1] and was relatively unusual among such languages in being the language of a maritime trading state, though contemporary Papuan trading states were also found off Halmahera in Ternate and Tidore.^[2]
