Australian Aboriginal language From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Remove ads

The Yangkaal language was an Australian Aboriginal language, also known as Yanggaralda,[2] Janggal, Gananggalinda, Nemarang, among other names.[1] Geoffrey O'Grady grouped it as a variety of Yukulta within the Tangkic language family.[a] The implication was that "Yanggal" was simply an alternative name for "Njangga", which is an alternative ethnonym for the Yanyula (Yanyuwa), from which the word Yanggal may have derived.[4]
