that munanga linguist

Here I am working in Southern Arnhem Land as a linguist... There ain't many places around like this one so I thought I'd share. Then maybe someone down south might know what it is that I actually do while I'm here!

Ngapartji Ngapartji and online language lessons

While in Alice I was lucky enough to visit the Ngapartji Ngapartji office and meet a couple of the people involved in it. Just one of the things they are doing is making nice little language lessons. This one was availalble online. The language is Pitjantjatjara. (I'm assuming!!)

    Yes (uwa!) that's Pitjantjatjara -- they even teach the word that proves it, pitjanyi 'coming'.
