enlace | State Library of Queensland “Word of the Week” Week Eight.

Yanga meaning 'mother'.

As part of State Library’s commitment to the 2019 International Year of Indigenous Languages, we will be promoting a ‘word of the week’ from one of the 125+ Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages and dialects from across Queensland.
This week’s word is yanga [pronounced young-ah] from the Baradha language of Central Queensland, extending from Lotus Creek along the inland ranges, particularly the Connors Ranges towards Nebo – it means ‘mother’. This week’s word coincides with International Mother Language Day which is celebrated on 21 February; follow State Library on Twitter to discover more words relating to ‘mother’ from other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages.
