The Gundungurra Language

A linguistic description presents the sound system and a phonetic orthography, with detailed guidance on vowel length, consonant values and several special sounds. It outlines noun morphology showing singular, dual and plural forms, gender distinctions and sex-specific animal terms. Case and possession are handled primarily by suffixation, including double marking on possessor and possessed and examples of dative/oblative usage. The pronoun system is given with full person, number and case paradigms and two distinct first‑person dual and plural series (inclusive and exclusive). Comparative remarks note similarities with certain Polynesian and North American patterns and the relative rarity of these features in nearby dialects.
