Classification
Geographically it lay between the Karnic and Maric languages, but had no obvious connection to either; the data is too poor to draw any conclusions on classification.[4] Dixon (2002)[5]: xxxiii classes Pirriya with Kungkari as a subgroup of the Maric languages while Breen (1990) suggests it may be a Karnic language.[6]: 64
Vocabulary
Some words from the Birria language, as spelt and written by Birria authors include:[3]
- Billar: spear
- Binoor: bandicoot
- Boorong: rock
- Bowra: kangaroo
- Burlo moori: good day
- Gulburri: emu
