An Aboriginal language spoken by the Awabakal people of the Sydney region in Australia before European contact.
From 'Awabakal,' the name of an Indigenous Australian people and nation. The language name derives from the people's own ethnonym, meaning 'people of this land' in their traditional territory around Port Jackson.
The Awabakal language had only a few fluent speakers left by the 20th century, but the Awabakal-Darkinjung people have been revitalizing it—words like 'Parramatta' and 'Woolloomooloo' come from their Awabakal vocabulary!
