1 The Aboriginal word gangurru described the Grey Kangaroo. 2  It's an urban myth that the name kangaroo is the result of a misunderstanding, and developed from an Aboriginal word meaning I don't know, or I don't understand.  The name kangaroo is used broadly to include all species within the super-family of macropods.
If you do not see the characteristic shapes of Korean Hangul or Japanese hiragana or katakana, then you are probably looking at Chinese. Chinese writing has complicated characters called hanzi in Chinese, kanji in Japanese, and hanja in Korean.
Korean: Writing in Korea also started as an adoption of the Chinese script to fit the Korean language, and as a result Chinese characters called hanja came to represent both words as well as sounds. This system persisted for more than a thousand until the creation and introduction of the alphabet hangul which is what is used in both North and South Korea.
