Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Australian English The Djinang are an Aboriginal Australian people of the Northern Territory.
Name
The tribal ethnonym comes from an old form of the proximate deictic ('this'), namely Шаблон:TranslШаблон:Sfn
Country
The Djinang territories are often described in a way that overlaps with those of the Yan-nhaŋu. Norman Tindale, for example, allocates to them the Шаблон:Convert stretching over the Crocodile Islands and Milingimbi south to the mainland around the middle reaches of the Blyth River. On the continent they are said to extend east as far as the Glyde Inlet and river, as far as the northern margins of the Arafura Swamp.Шаблон:Sfn The modern authority on them, Bruce Waters, states that they are concentrated on the mainland, with only a few members on the islands.Шаблон:Sfn
Language
Djinang is classified as one of the Yolŋu languages, but is not mutually intelligible with them. It is most closely related to Djinba, with which it is about 60% cognate. In 1989 it was estimated that some 200 Djinang-speakers were living at Ramangiŋing, with small numbers also on Milingimbi and at ManingridaШаблон:Sfn
Social organization
The Djinang are composed of seven clansШаблон:Sfn
- Manyarring
- Marrangu
- Murrungun
- Balmbi
- Djadiwitjibi
- Mildjingi
- Wu(r)laki
Terms like 'clan' do not convey adequately the nature of the groups in such bands. Marrangu-Djinang for example, haa been described as 'a local territory with focal sites and affiliated set of people and sacra. Each term — Marrangu and Djinang — when employed separately has potential to denote a range of additional cultural references.'Шаблон:Sfn
History of contact
With the coming of mission stations to the area a large number of Djinang lived at Milingimbi, or ast Maningrida, down at least to the end of the 1960s.Шаблон:Sfn Though only a minority were converted to Christianity, the Djinang and the Djinba retain a strong sense of respect for the influence of the missions, which reduced the fear of sorcery, and revenge killings, that were a major concern to both tribes in their homelands.Шаблон:Sfn
