Yoimut or Yo'yomat, also known as Josie Alonzo, was a Yokuts woman who was the last speaker of the Chunut language of central California. She has also been recorded as the last "full-blooded" Chunut. She was a noted polyglot, speaking 8 different Yokutsan languages along with English and Spanish. She was among the last indigenous inhabitants of Tulare Lake, before being forcibly removed by Anglo-American settlers. She was an informant to anthropologists Frank F. Latta and A. H. Gayton.
