G21 Mbara / Midjamba, E52 Yanga (perhaps = Yangga) |
Mbara, or Midjamba, is an extinct aboriginal language of Australia. The Mbara people were traditionally the neighbours of the Yanga, Gugu-Badhun, Yirandali, Wunumara and Ngawun peoples. [4]
Yanga was mutually intelligible.[5][3]
Speakers of Mbara and related dialects were affected by the gold and cattle rushes during the second half of the nineteenth century.[6]
