The spoken Aboriginal Languages were recorded using the Roman alphabet, as used in English. Therefore, Aboriginal language sounds were interpreted in many different spellings. This means that the same words – including language groups and place names can be spelled in two or three different ways. For example, Yorta Yorta can also be spelled Jotijota, Jodajoda, Joti-jota, Yodayod, Yoda-Yoda, Yoorta, Yota, Yoti Yoti, Yotta-Yotta, Youta.
