| Description: | Creation story of how people first came to Northwestern Arnhem Land, and how they came to speak so many different languages. Warramurrungunji is the First Woman or Mother Creator of the Northwest Arnhem Landers. She came across the sea from the northwest, and landed first at the northern end of Croker Island, where she gave birth to the inhabitants and their language. From there she travelled to the mainland where she deposited both the coastal and inland peoples and assigned them all a language. | |
| 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. | ||
