Jagera People
The Jagera people, also written Yagarr, Yaggera, and other variants, are the Australian Aboriginal people who spoke the Yuggera language. The Yuggera language which encompassed a number of dialects was spoken by the traditional owners of the territories from Moreton Bay to the base of the Toowoomba ranges including the city of Brisbane. Language Yuggera is classified as belonging to the Durubalic subgroup of the Pama–Nyungan languages, but is also treated as the general name for the languages of the Brisbane area. The Australian English word 'yakka' (loosely meaning 'work', as in 'hard yakka') came from the Yuggera language (''yaga'', 'strenuous work'). According to Tom Petrie, who provided several pages listing words and placenames in the languages spoken in the area of Brisbane (''Mianjin''), ''yaggaar'' was the local word for 'no', the term for 'no' frequently in aboriginal languages being an ethnonymic marker of difference between various native groups.

Jagera Language
Turrbal is an Aboriginal Australian language of Queensland. It is the language of the Turrbal people, who are the traditional owners and custodians of Brisbane. The Turrbal Association uses the Turrbal spelling and prefer this over other spellings of Turrbal such as Turubul, Turrubal, Turrabul, Toorbal, and Tarabul. The four dialects listed in Dixon (2002) are sometimes seen as separate Durubalic languages, especially Jandai and Nunukul; Yagara, Yugarabul, and Turrbul proper are more likely to be considered dialects. Influence on other languages The Australian English word ''yakka'', an informal term referring to any work, especially of strenuous kind, comes from the Yagara word ''yaga'', the verb for 'work'. The literary journal ''Meanjin'' takes its name from ''meanjin'', a Turrbal word meaning 'spike', referring to the spike of land Brisbane Brisbane ( ) is the capital and most populous city of the Australian state of Queensland, and the third-most populous city in ...

Jagera (plant)
''Jagera'' is a genus of 4 species of forest trees known to science, constituting part of the plant family Sapindaceae. They grow naturally in the rainforests and associated forests of eastern Australia, New Guinea and the Moluccas. In Australia, ''Jagera pseudorhus'' is the most well known, and commonly named foambark, due to the saponins in the bark foaming after heavy rain. Indigenous Australians use this foam as the de-oxygenator of waterway pools for temporarily suffocating their fish enabling easy catching. The genus is named after Herbert de Jager, a Dutch orientalist and associate of the botanist Georg Eberhard Rumphius. In the last few decades various new names have been formally published, numbers of them subsequently corrected to synonyms of earlier names and a few remaining recognised as genuine new species or varieties. One recognised species in Malesia apparently remains still to be formally described. Species * '' Jagera javanica'' – New Guinea, Molucca ...
