Ben Murray

Ben Murray or Benno Murray, also named, Parlku-nguyu-thangkayiwarna (21 December 1893 - 26 August 1994) was an Afghan/Arabana/Thirari man who worked as a stockman, cameleer, linguist and story teller. He worked closely with linguists, include Luise Hercus, from the 1960s to the 1980s in a number of languages including Thirari, a language closely related Diyari, which he was considered the last fluent speaker of. Murray's Arabana name was Parlku-nguyu-thangkayiwarna which, translated, means ‘bank of clouds settling down’ or 'a single cloud remaining stationary for a little while'.
