Language:English, Aboriginal BundjalungAIATSIS ref. (E12) (NSW SH56-02). The term, Bundjalung, is used as a cover term (language name) for a number of related dialects. Termed Bundjalung proper, it is also used to refer to one of the dialects, one which is spoken around Coraki. Thus, Bundjalung is used as both a language name and a dialect name. Yugambeh is in this group of dialects and uses the term, Yugambeh-Bundjalung as a cover term instead.
