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.
The most important change in Chinese writing since the standardization in the Qin dynasty occurred in the middle of the 20th century. In 1949, the People's Republic of China (PRC) introduced simplified characters (jiantizi) to replace the traditional Kaishu characters.
