Woiwurrung (sometimes spelt ''Woiwurrong'', ''Woiworung'', ''Wuywurung'') is an Indigenous Australian language spoken by the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation of Central Victoria, from Mount Baw Baw in the east to Mount Macedon, Sunbury and Gisborne in the west. The language remains, but is not widely known or spoken due to the impact of colonisation. The Woiwurrung clans inhabited the Yarra River, called Birrarung in Woiwurrung, before European displacement. The clans include: *The Wurrundjeri-willam, who occupied the Yarra River and its tributaries and inhabited the area now covered by the city of Melbourne. Referred to initially by Europeans as the Yarra tribe. *The Marin-Bulluk *The Kurung-Jang-Bulluk *The Wurundjeri-Balluk *The Balluk-willam Wurundjeri is now the common term for descendants of all the Woiwurrung clans. Their totems are Bunjil the eagle and Waa the crow. The Jindyworobak Movement claimed to have taken their name from a Woiwurrung phrase ''jindi worobak'' meaning to annex or join. ==Consonants== It is not clear if the two rhotics are trill and flap, or tap and approximant. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Woiwurrung language」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
