The Aborigines did not differentiate between the different species of wallaby. The word wallaby actually derives from the Aboriginal word wolaba.
The name of the wallaby was derived from an aboriginal word for the wallaby. The Aborigines of the Port Jackson area called it walaba.
The aboriginal (native) Australians.
Wallaby is the same word in German
I checked Google translate and it came out the same. Wallaby=Wallaby I hope that helps. :)

The name wallaby is believed to have originated from an Aboriginal Australian language, where it roughly translates to "small kangaroo." Wallabies are marsupials that are smaller than kangaroos and are native to Australia and nearby islands.
There are about 30 different species of wallaby. Some of these include: * Agile Wallaby * Black-striped Wallaby * Tammar Wallaby * Toolache Wallaby * Western Brush Wallaby * Parma Wallaby * Pretty-faced Wallaby * Red-necked Wallaby * Bridled Nail-tail Wallaby * Northern Nail-tail Wallaby * Short-eared Rock-wallaby * Proserpine Rock-wallaby * Rothschild's Rock-wallaby * Yellow-footed Rock-wallaby * Allied Rock-wallaby * Cape York Rock-wallaby * Godman's Rock-wallaby * Herbert's Rock-wallaby * Black-flanked Rock-wallaby * Mareeba Rock-wallaby * Brush-tailed Rock-wallaby * Purple-necked Rock-wallaby * Mt. Claro Rock-wallaby * Banded Hare-wallaby * Spectacled Hare-wallaby * Rufous Hare-wallaby * Eastern Hare-wallaby
Given that there are hundreds of Aboriginal dialects in Australia, there is no single answer to this question.

The quokka is a marsupial that lives predominantly on Rottnest Island, with a few sparse populations on the mainland of Western Australia as well. It resembles a wallaby, and the name "quokka" actually means "little wallaby" in the local Aboriginal dialect. However, the quokka is really in a different group of its own to the wallaby, having a shorter, stiffer tail and shorter hind feet. Its skull and teeth are different to usual wallabies, and it has more rounded ears.
