The Haush language (also Manek'enk) was an indigenous language spoken by the Haush people and was formerly spoken on the island of Tierra del Fuego.[1] The Haush were considered the oldest inhabitants of Tierra del Fuego; they inhabited the far eastern tip of the Mitre Peninsula. They made regular hunting trips to Isla de los Estados.

Before 1850, an estimated 300 people spoke Haush.[2] The last speaker of Haush died around 1920 and the language is considered extinct.[3]

Haush is considered to be related to the Selk'nam, Gününa Yajich, Teushen, and Tehuelche languages, which collectively belong to the Chonan language family.[4]
