Yugambeh (many other names; see below) is an Australian aboriginal language spoken by the Yugambeh Bundjalung people living on the South-East Queensland coast between the Logan River and the Tweed River (including South Stradbroke Island). [ [http://www.yugambeh.com/ Yugambeh Museum web site introduction] (web site by the Kombumerri Aboriginal Corporation for Culture)]

Yugambeh is one of some dozen or two dozen dialects of the Bandjalang language. Among the differences in Yugambeh is that "yugambeh" (or "yugam") is the word for "no". The Yugambeh people use this to identify their language (those who say "yugambeh" for "no"). ["Macquarie Aboriginal Words", Macquarie University, 1994, paperback ISBN 0-949757-79-9, chapter 1]
