Wulli Wulli language

Wuliwuli (also Wuli Wuli, Wulli Wulli) is an extinct Australian Aboriginal language of the Pama–Nyungan language family formerly spoken by the Wulli Wulli people in Queensland, Australia.

The Wulli Wulli language region includes the landscape within the local government boundaries of the North Burnett Regional Council, particularly the town of Eidsvold and the Auburn River catchment, including the properties of Walloon, Camboon, and Hawkwood.

Wuliwuli is regarded as a dialect of Wakka Wakka.

The alternate names for Wuliwuli are Wilili, Wililililee, Willillee, Wuli Wuli, Wulili, Wulilli, and Wulli Wulli.

The name Wuliwuli is from the personal pronoun wuli, meaning "they".

The phonetic system of Wuliwuli is the same as that of Wakka Wakka and Barunggan.

Stem structure, the rules surrounding derivation, and the derivative suffixes are largely the same as in Wakka Wakka and Barunggan.

Locatives are expressed by the ablative affix. Allatives are expressed either by the ablative, or the postpositions gu or gua. Perlatives can also be found.
