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

As part of State Library of Queensland’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 bonyi [pronounced bon-yee], from the Barunggam language of Dalby and the Bunya Mountains. This word refers to the tree (Araucaria bidwillii), the nut and the gathering held every three years in the Bunya Mountains!
