ABSTRACT This paper is a literature-based study concerning avian nomenclature of the Ngarrindjeri language formerly spoken in the Lower Murray River region of temperate South Australia. Ngarrindjeri and modern European Australian classification systems for birds were structurally different. There was no single Ngarrindjeri word that covered all birds. Some species were clustered together under a single term, while others had separate gender-specific names. This study investigates how avian terms were incorporated into the naming of people and places. Analysis of avian classification adds to the understanding of early Aboriginal use and perception of the Australian environment. A detailed list of Ngarrindjeri names for birds is provided.

南澳大利亚墨累河下游地区鸟类的 Ngarrindjeri 命名法

摘要 本文是一项基于文献的研究，涉及以前在南澳大利亚温带墨累河下游地区使用的 Ngarrindjeri 语言的鸟类命名法。Ngarrindjeri 和现代欧洲澳大利亚鸟类分类系统在结构上是不同的。没有一个 Ngarrindjeri 词可以涵盖所有鸟类。一些物种聚集在一个术语下，而其他物种则具有单独的性别名称。这项研究调查了如何将鸟类术语纳入人和地点的命名中。对鸟类分类的分析增加了对澳大利亚环境的早期土著使用和感知的理解。提供了鸟类 Ngarrindjeri 名称的详细列表。
