Marrithiyel

Marrithiyel is an Aboriginal language of the country between the lower Daly and Moyle rivers. The Moyle flows northwest across a broad floodplain to Hyland Bay, where tidal mudflats and mangroves meet the sea. Inland, seasonal floods spread through grassland, sedges and paperbark swamps. Related Marrithiyel speech varieties are associated with neighbouring coastal country, linking the river plains with the shore.
