'language of men' or 'sound of eagles'),[3][4] also known as Tweed-Albert Bandjalang, is an Australian Aboriginal language spoken by the Yugambeh living in South-East Queensland between and within the Logan River basin and the Tweed River basin, bounded to the east by the Pacific Ocean (including South Stradbroke Island) and in the west by the Teviot Ranges and Teviot Brook basin.

Language speakers use the word miban which means 'man', 'human', 'wedge-tailed eagle' and is the preferred endonym for the people; they call their language Mibanah meaning 'of man', 'of human', 'of eagle' (the -Nah suffix forming the genitive of the word miban).

[7] Linguists such as Margaret Sharpe, relying on the previous work of others like Terry Crowley, described the Yugambeh language as having potentially upwards of 7 dialects.

Recent analysis has found errors in these original studies and when corrected for these errors, two mutually intelligible dialects can be found; a western (freshwater) variety and an eastern (saltwater) variety with minor vocabularic differences.

[15] The grammar of the Yugambeh language is highly agglutinative, making use of over 50 suffixes on nouns, verbs, adjectives, and demonstratives.

Typified by Feminine Diminutive Possessive Abessive Allative Ergative, Instrumental, Comitative Intensive Query 'also' Past Possessive Objective Respective Benefactive Purposive Desiderative Ablative Locative Past Locative Aversive 'X' stands for a homorganic obstruent.

#The comitative, purposive, desiderative, ablative, and aversive suffixes are preceded by -bah on animate nouns.

Yugambeh verb stems are commonly two syllables in length and always end in a vowel.
