Mayali dialect

Australian Aboriginal language


Mayali or Manyallaluk Mayali is a dialect of Bininj Kunwok, an Australian Aboriginal language.[3] The Aboriginal people who speak Mayali are the Bininj people, who live primarily in western Arnhem Land. Mayali is spoken primarily in south-west Arnhem Land, particularly around Pine Creek, Katherine and Manyallaluk.[3] Occasionally the term "Mayali" is used to refer to all Bininj Kunwok dialects collectively, however this is not generally accepted usage.[3][4] Speakers of the Kundjeyhmi dialect of Bininj Kunwok often regard Mayali as similar to, or even the same as, Kundjeyhmi.[3]
