Kundedjnjenghmi dialect

Australian Aboriginal language From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kundedjnjenghmi is a dialect of Bininj Kunwok, an Australian Aboriginal language.[2] The Kundedjnjenghmi dialect is native to the high 'stone country' of the Arnhem Plateau,[2] including the communities of Kabulwarnamyo and Kamarrkawarn.[3] Younger speakers in this area have largely switched to other varieties of Bininj Kunwok, although they retain a passive knowledge of Kundedjnjenghmi.[2] A number of songs by the Nabarlek band use the Kundedjnjenghmi dialect, as do traditional 'Kunborrk' songs.[2]
