Yaithmathang
The Jaitmatang, also spelled Yaithmathang, are an Indigenous Australian people of the State of Victoria. Name Jaitmatang/Yaithmathang, according to the early ethnographer Alfred William Howitt, may have derived from ''Ya-yau'' their word for "yes," and ''thang'' ("speech/tongue"). Language Ian D. Clark, after subjecting evidence for the Omeo languages in early wordlists, identified a distinctive tongue differing substantially from those – Dhudhuroa and Pallanganmiddang – spoken by tribes to the immediate north. After then examining whether it might be a variety of Ngarigu or had a separate name Harold Koch and others consider it a southern variety of the Yuin sub-branch of the Yuin-Kuric language family. Koch's analysis points to a possibility that the Jaitmatang, like their neighbours the Wolgal and the Ngarigo, spoke dialects of one language, with Clark considering it a dialect of Ngarigo. Country The Jaitmatang's lands extended some , including the headwaters of Mitt ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dhudhuroa People
The Dhudhuroa people (or Duduroa) are an Indigenous Australian people of North-eastern Victoria, in the state of Victoria, Australia. About 2,000 descendants exist in Australia in the early 21st century. Name The endonym Dhudhuroa has been analysed as being composed of the initial syllable ''dhu-'' of their word for "no" (''dhubalga'') and a form of the word for "mouth" (''wurru''). Language Dhudhuroa has been classified as belonging to the Gippsland branch of the Pama-Nyungan language family. Robert M. W. Dixon classifies it, with Pallanganmiddang, as one of the 2 languages comprising an Upper Murray Group. Lexicostatistical analysis however shows that it something of a language isolate within neighbouring languages, with which it shares no more than 11-16% of common vocabulary. It has various dialects, one being ''Ba Barwidgee.'' The language is currently undergoing a revival, and is being taught at Bright Secondary College, Harrietville Primary School and Wooragee Primary ...

Djilamatang
The Djilamatang were thought to be a distinct Indigenous Australian people of the state of Victoria, Australia. This has recently been questioned by Ian Clark. Language The ethnonym is formed from the word for man, ''djere''. Norman Tindale maintained that the Djilamatang were exterminated by other Aboriginal groups "in post-European times". He places them in the northeast corner of Victoria, "west of Mount Kosciuszko on the upper headwaters of the Murray River", but the words he quotes (''waananga'', meaning "no" and ''djere''. "man") as belonging to this group are in fact, according to Barry Blake, Pallanganmiddang and since there is no independent testimony for the Djilamatang lexicon, it is reasonable to surmise that this group spoke a tongue similar to Dhudhuroa. Country Area 1,500 sq. m. west of Mount Kosciuszko and on the upper headwaters of the Murray River. They appear to have been exterminated in a period of tribal conflict in the Albury area after white settlement ha ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Indigenous Australian

They consist of two distinct groups: the Aboriginal peoples of the Australian mainland and Tasmania, and the Torres Strait Islander peoples from the seas between Queensland and Papua New Guinea. The term Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples or the person's specific cultural group, is often preferred, though the terms First Nations of Australia, First Peoples of Australia and First Australians are also increasingly common; 812,728 people self-identified as being of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander origin in the 2021 Australian Census, representing 3.2% of the total population of Australia. Of these indigenous Australians, 91.4% identified as Aboriginal; 4.2% identified as Torres Strait Islander; while 4.4% identified with both groups.

An endonym (from Greek: , 'inner' + , 'name'; also known as autonym) is a common, ''native'' name for a geographical place, group of people, individual person, language or dialect, meaning that it is used inside that particular place, group, or linguistic community in question; it is their self-designated name for themselves, their homeland, or their language.

Victorian Gold Rush
The Victorian gold rush was a period in the history of Victoria, Australia approximately between 1851 and the late 1860s. It led to a period of extreme prosperity for the Australian colony, and an influx of population growth and financial capital for Melbourne, which was dubbed "Marvellous Melbourne" as a result of the procurement of wealth. Overview The Victorian Gold Discovery Committee wrote in 1854: With the exception of the more extensive fields of California, for a number of years the gold output from Victoria was greater than in any other country in the world. Victoria's greatest yield for one year was in 1856, when 3,053,744 troy ounces (94,982 kg) of gold were extracted from the diggings.
