lien | State Library of Queensland “Word of the Week” Week Thirty-Seven.

As part of State Library’s commitment to the 2019 International Year of Indigenous Languages, we will be promoting a ‘word of the week’ from one of the 125+ Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages and dialects from across Queensland.
This week’s word of the week is gulmari [pronounced gool-mah-ree] meaning ‘shield’. It is from the Guwinmal language of Central Queensland along the coastal section taking in the Styx River and Torilla.
