List Of Indigenous Australian Group Names
Below is a list of names and collective designations which have been applied, either currently or in the past, to groups of indigenous Australians.
Typically, indigenous Australian tribes are differentiated by language groups. There are few groups that clearly correspond to such a term. Most indigenous Australians could name a number of groups of which they are members, each group being defined in terms of different criteria and often with much overlap. Many of the names listed below are properly understood as language or dialect names, some are simply the word meaning man or person in the associated language, some are autonyms (i.e. the name as used by the people themselves) and some exonyms (i.e., names used by one group for another, and not by that group itself), while others are terms for people from specific geographical areas.
