Abstract

This dictionary includes the well-attested words, phrases and sentences collected in the northern area of the language where the word mibiny was used for 'Aboriginal man'. In Gidhabal and Wiyabal (other dialects of this language to the south and west of the Tweed River), mibiny was the word for 'face' or 'to know'. Different names are and were used for dialects known as Yugambeh (or Yugumbir): Wangerriburra, Manandjali (or Manaldjahli), Ngarahngwal, and Ngahnduwal (or Nganduwal).
