Description:Part 2: The informants discuss the specific laws, the social structure and the politics involved in conducting a funeral ceremony. They also mention Namumuyak (a creator) and the origin of mortality. This is followed by some discussion about politeness routines, and social rules concerning food distribution.
This project documents, in as full a cultural context as is possible, the Iwaidja language of the Cobourg Peninsula, Northern Territory, Australia (Iwaidjan language family, non-Pama-Nyungan), still spoken by around 200 people but under increasing threat from English, as well as recording material from other languages of the region (Marrgu, Ilgar/ Garig, Amurdak and Manangkari) which are all reduced to one or two speakers each. In addition to linguists, the research team will include specialists in ethnomusicology, material culture / archaeology, and social anthropology, and will result in a comprehensive, searchable and browsable sound and video documentation, with Iwaidja transcriptions and subtitles alongside English translations, an Iwaidja dictionary of around 5,000 words, detailed phonetic analysis, and briefer materials on other languages of the area.
Ronnie Waraludj was born at Cape Don in 1955. He moved to Minjilang as a child and attended the mission school on Croker Island. After another brief period at Cape Don in the early sixties he moved back to Croker Island permanently.
