<b>Description:</b>
 
Wiradjuri (many other spellings; see Wiradjuri) is a Pama-Nyungan language of the Wiradhuric subgroup. It was the traditional language of the Wiradhuri people of Australia, but is no longer in general use.
Compared to English, Wiradjuri has a different pronunciation, you can't simply read the word and try to say it as you would an English word, for example when you see 'ng' in a word (normally at the start) it's pronounced like 'ng' in 'sing'. 'aa' sounds like a dragged out 'r' and 'ii' sounds like 'ee'. When you see 'rr' in a word you must roll your tongue to produce the correct sound.
