Aboriginal Bird- and Place Names

The words in these lists are from various sources, because of the different aboriginal dialects, spellings and pronunciation. In Australia there were many tribal languages and dialects, so that words differed from tribe to tribe. Explorers and early settlers recorded words as they heard them, spelling them in English according to their idea of the sound. Consequently spellings vary.

Then too, European usage has altered spellings and changed pronunciations, so that is is not possible to give an authoritative guide to either spelling or pronunciation
