The word "emu" is not an aboriginal word. It is believed to have come from the Arabic word for "large bird", and given by the Dutch and Portuguese sailors to both emus and cassowaries they sighted. The first European settlers and explorers then used the term exclusively for the emu as we know it. There are many different aboriginal dialects in Australia. Some of the aboriginal words for emu are listed below. * koolpurrie * burrimul * dinewan * koondoola * kalaya * baramul
