Wiradjuri

The Wiradjuri, or Wiradhuri, are an indigenous people of Australia, who speak the Aboriginal language of that name. They occupied a large area of central New South Wales, from the Blue Mountains in the east, to Hay in the west, north to Nyngan and south to Albury.

Wiradjuri Language

The Wiradjuri language had effectively died out of everyday spoken use, but has recently been reconstructed from early European anthropologist's records by Stan Grant, a member of the Wiradjuri Elder's Council, and John Rudder Ph.D., who has previously studied Australian Aboriginal languages in Arnhem Land. It is a member of the small Wiradhuric branch of the Pama-Nyngan family.
