Giamina (Omomil) is an extinct Uto-Aztecan language formerly spoken in the American state of California, between Poso Creek and the Kern River. It is poorly attested, with only around 20 words collected in the early 20th century, but can be clearly classified as Uto-Aztecan.[1] An elderly Yokuts man stated they were identical with the Kumachisi, a subdivision of the Tübatulabal.[2]
