Biri
Biri, also known as Biria, Birri Gubba, Birigaba, Wiri, Perembba and other variants, is an Australian Aboriginal language of the Mackay area of Queensland spoken by the Birri Gubba people. There are at least eight languages regarded as dialects of Biri, and two which are related but whose status is not yet fully determined (see the table to the right). All are covered in this article.
A grammar of Biri proper was written before the language became nearly extinct. As of January 2020[update] some of the dialects have been undergoing a revival for some years.[2]
