The Boonwurrung language, also anglicised as Bunurong, Bun wurrung, and other variant spellings,[3] is an Aboriginal Australian language traditionally spoken by the Boonwurrung people of the Kulin nation of central Victoria prior to European settlement in the colony of Victoria. The last remaining traditional native speakers died in the early 20th century.
