Bangerang / Pangerang Language - GANEAA
Bangerang/Pangerang Language
The vast Traditional land area occupied by the Bangerang/Pangerang People stretched from Echuca in the East then along both sides of the Murray River to Mt Pilot in the West … then from the Great Dividing Range in the South and Northwards to Waddi in the Riverina.
Naturally, within such a vast area there were some slight variations in
“Dialects” however each clan could understand each other quite easily
An example of this in a present-day situation is below ….
Let’s say that five people are standing in front of a supermarket and another person who doesn’t understand English is recording their Language.
The recorder asks them all the same question …”What is this place”?
Bob answers..”The Supermarket “
Jack answers.. Where I do my shopping”
Betty answers..”Safeway “
Jimmy answers..”For groceries and stuff”
Suzy answers.. “The one stop shop”
Then the recorder asks them …”What time is it”
Bob answers..”Mid-day”
Jack answers..”Twelve O’clock”
Betty answers..”Noon”
Jimmy answers..”Lunch Time”
Suzy answers.. “Both hands are on Twelve”
The Recorder writes down five different answers to the questions and
(let’s not forget that he hasn’t heard the English Language before) so therefore he assumes that Bob, Jack, Betty, Jimmy, and Suzy all speak different Languages.
However, the five involved could all understand each other even though they all said different things and this is how a lot of confusion began when
Europeans began recording Aboriginal Language.
Also, the people whose custodianship country bordered onto another Tribe could speak the other’s language in order for communication.
For example, the people in the North could also speak Wiradjuri and the People in the South could also speak the Gunnai/Kurnai language,
(To save extra writing etc, we will just use Bpangerang from now on which is how it should have been spelt in the first place … like Dja Dja Wurrung, Ngati, Tchulka, and many other double letter names)
Edward Curr an original settler in the western area of the Bpangerang People lived and worked with the Bpangerang and wrote down their language in 1866.
Also Annie Lewis (Milawa) from the Eastern area of the Bpangerang people also wrote down her people’s language in 1900 and like it was mentioned above, words may be different but could still be understood by both.
