Sample Vocabulary
Compared to English, Wiradjuri has a different pronunciation so 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.
