Kune dialect

Kune is a dialect of Bininj Kunwok, an Australian Aboriginal language.[3] The Aboriginal people who speak Kune are the Bininj people, who live primarily in western Arnhem Land. Kune is spoken primarily in the south-east of the Bininj Kunwok speaking areas, particularly in the Cadell River district south of Maningrida. This includes outstations such as Korlobidahdah, Buluhkaduru and Bolkdjam.[3] Grammatically Kune is closely related to other varieties of Bininj Kunwok, however there are many differences in vocabulary.[3]
