Mununjali

Phonetic
Mun-un-ja-li

Description
The Mununjali people spoke a dialect, of which a few hundred words have been preserved, of the Yugambeh language. Knowledge of the grammar and vocabulary was recorded from Joe Culham, son of Coolum known as the "King of the Mununjali", by Margaret Sharpe in 1968 and the Swedish linguist Nils Holmer compiled a grammar and dictionary from Mununjali people in 1978. Comparisons with neighbouring clan word lists such as the Wanggeriburra's supplied by John Allen in 1913 showed they spoke the same variety of language.he ethnonym Mununjali has been related to a Yugambeh word, munun, which refers to a type of "black soil" with -jali meaning "people" and thus means "Black Earth People". Their country was typified by the abundance of black soil.
