Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dictionary was produced as part of the Martu Ngurra Wangka: Martu Landscape Language Project. This project documented and described landscape terms in Manyjilyjarra, a Western Desert language variety spoken by the Martu People of the central Great Sandy Desert region in the Pilbara, Western Australia. Most of the Martu languages belong to the Wati dialect cluster of Australian Aboriginal languages in the Pama-Nyungan family. Languages associated with the Martu cultural group are: Manyjilyjarra, Kartujarra, Kiyajarra, Putijarra, Nyiyaparli, Warnman, Ngulipartu, Kurajarra, Juwaliny, Mangala and Nyangajarra.The three main objectives of the project were to:-document the landscape domain in this endangered language setting;-describe in detail aspects of the form, meaning and use of this language; and-compare these findings cross-linguistically.The project was conducted in collaboration with senior Manyjilyjarra speakers, mostly at Punmu Community and partly at Kunawarritji Community and at 'on-country' locations in Manyjilyjarra and Warnman country.The project has been a collaborative endeavour between linguist Clair Hill (of the Language, cognition and landscape project, Lund University, Sweden), trans-disciplinary researcher Andrew Turk (of the Ethnophysiography Research Group, Murdoch University) and Martu cultural and land management organisation Kanyirninpa Jukurrpa (KJ).

Book excerpt: The work of the German missionaries on South Australian languages in the first half of the nineteenth century has few contemporary parallels for thoroughness and clarity. This commentary on the grammatical introduction to Pastor Clamor Schürmann’s Vocabulary of the Parnkalla language of 1844 reconstructs a significant amount of Barngarla morphology, phonology and syntax.

Book excerpt: The National Indigenous Languages Survey Report 2005 highlights that: of an original estimated 250 known Australian Indigenous languages, only 18 languages are now considered ?strong? and have speakers in all age groups; about 110 Indigenous languages are still spoken by older people but are endangered; words and phrases are still in use and there is community support in many parts of the country for reclamation and learning programs for many other languages which are no longer fully spoken; communities around Australia possess many of the elements required to keep Indigenous languages strong or to reclaim them. They have skilled and devoted language workers and teachers, excellent teaching materials, good documentation of languages and active community language centres.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tommy Dodd was a middle aged, desert Nyangumarta man and Father McKelson a young Catholic priest from Melbourne. It was the mid 1960s. Together these two kindred spirits from widely different backgrounds met most afternoons on a veranda at remote La Grange Mission to discuss and record the language: Dodd was desperate to see it preserved and McKelson was desperate to preserve it. They knew they were working against time, but neither could imagine how quickly a tragedy would cut this monumental work short.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Indigenous languages of Australia have been undergoing a renaissance over recent decades. Many languages that had long ceased to be heard in public and consequently deemed 'dead' or 'extinct', have begun to emerge. Geographically and linguistically isolated, revitalisers of Indigenous Australian languages have often struggled to find guidance for their circumstances, unaware of the others walking a similar path. In this context Re-awakening Languages seeks to provide the first comprehensive snapshot of the actions and aspirations of Indigenous people and their supporters for the revitalisation of Australian languages in the 21st century. The contributions to this volume describe the satisfactions and tensions of this ongoing struggle. They also draw attention to the need for effective planning and strong advocacy at the highest political and administrative levels, if language revitalisation in Australia is to be successful and people's efforts are to have longevity.
