The Pantyikali (Bandjigali) dialect, also called Baarundji (meaning the people of the Paroo River) or Weyneubulcoo (Wanyuparlku, Wanyiwalku), is a dialect of the Paakantyi language. Pantyikali is spoken in New South Wales, Australia, northwest, north, and west of White Cliffs. In 2005, it was not extinct, with four speakers reported.[1]
The Pantyikali people of the Paakantyi were extensively studied and photographed in the 19th century by Frederic Bonney, the owner of Momba Station.[3]
The major work on the Paakantyi language and its dialects has been that of linguist Luise Hercus.[4]
Name
[edit]The name derives from "pantyi" ("creek") and the suffix "-kali" ("people"), meaning "creek people".[5]
