Dyangadi

Dhanggati (Dunghutti, Thangatti), previously known as Dyangadi (Djangadi), is the Australian Aboriginal language once spoken by the Djangadi of the Macleay Valley and surrounding high country of the Great Dividing Range in New South Wales. There is an ongoing program of language-revival. Ngaagu (Ngaku) and Burgadi (Burrgati) were probably dialects. The three together have been called the Macleay Valley language.

Shared designated Ceremonial between surrounding tribes ie: Anaiwan, Gumbagerri and including tribes from further west from Armidale to the north at Tenterfield, New South Wales and southern tribes such as the tribes around Nowendoc, S.E New South Wales.

Anaiwan Country did tradeoffs with the surrounding tribes for the use of a ceremonial site which the University of New England is now located at Booloominbah house (erected 1888) when the then colonial settlement Armidale was becoming an important trade route and penal colony housing a jail at the earliest time of Colonialism and a route further West to the 'Western Plains'. It was also a deterrent to large groups of natives from gathering, so their places of the deepest and spiritual importance was simply replaced by Aboriginal places of "checks and balances" to the White Imperialism ways of "keeping things in check".
