In the Western Bundjalung language, Wahlubal means "those who say Wahlu", Wahlu being the form of the second person nominative 'you' used in this variety. Wahlubal was spoken in the Tabulam area, further downstream at Baryulgil the Wehlubal dialect was spoken, Wehlu being this dialects form of Wahlu.
To the east across the range, at Rappville along Bungawalbin creek the Birihn dialect was spoken, Birihn meaning 'southern', slightly the north was the very similar but distinct Casino dialect, known only as Bundjalung.[3]
These are all common exonyms and endonyms for the people and their languages. The generic term Bundjalung or Western bundjalung is also commonly used.[4][5]
Geographic Distributionedit
Wahlubal is spoken along the Clarence river upstream from the Yagir language.[6]
Grammaredit
Demonstrativesedit
Western Bundjalung possesses a complicated set of demonstratives that make a three-way distinction, with proximal, medial, and distal sets, there is a further distinguishing of demonstrative adjectives and location demonstratives. The adjective set can be additionally suffixed to create demonstrative pronouns, the adjective set has three forms for "things in sight", "things hidden or not in sight" and "things not there anymore", while the location set has forms to indicate the general area and definite area, and whether in sight or not in sight.[7]

The 'not in sight' and 'not here anymore' forms can take the order 2 noun suffix -gan to form time words. E.g. gunahgan 'recently'.
