The Wonnarua language has a different alphabet and sound system than English. We are going to go through the sounds and I will prompt you to repeat words I say to ensure you a pronouncing the words correctly. Circle the words that you have difficulty saying.
Lessons prepared by Linda L'Green using source: A salvage grammar and wordlist of the language from the Hunter River and Lake Macquarie, Amanda Lissarrague. I would also like to acknowledge the past, present, and future Wonnarua people, Korreil Wonnai AECG - Cessnock & Kurri Kurri and Amanda Lissarrague for their support to return Australian Aboriginal Languages to our people.
