This reference work brings together a grammatical description, dictionary and historical texts for Yagara, an Aboriginal language of south-east Queensland. Karen Sullivan and Glenda Harward-Nalder draw on recorded sources to examine pronunciation, word classes, kinship terminology, noun and verb morphology, and sentence structure.
The dictionary pairs Yagara entries with English explanations, source spellings and cross-references, followed by an English–Yagara finder list. A final section presents historical sentence lists and texts with linguistic analysis. The volume explains the evidence behind its reconstructions and gives readers a way to compare records that use different spellings and conventions.
