The Sydney Language was written to revive interest in the Aboriginal language of the Sydney district.

Professor Jakelin Troy refers to the language as the 'Sydney Language' because there was no name given for the language in historical records until the late 19th century, when it was referred to as "Dharug". This book makes readily available the small amount of surviving information from those historical records.

The language is now called by its many clan names, including "Gadigal" in the Sydney city area, and "Dharug" in Western Sydney. The word for Aboriginal person in this language is "yura", and this word has been used to help identify the language - with the most common spellings being "Iyora" and "Eora".

The Sydney Language is ideal for anyone interested in learning more about the language and culture of the Aboriginal owners of what is now called Sydney.
