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
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]
