Interactive dictionary for Aboriginal Language
First-ever interactive dictionary to teach Aboriginal language.
The first interactive Aboriginal language CD and dictionary was launched at Sydney University, marking the most comprehensive attempt to protect and preserve an Indigenous dialect in recent times. The CD Gayarragi, winangali – Find and Hear was launched by UTS Professor of Law Larissa Behrendt, a Yuwaalayaay woman (Narran River near Walgett) whose father spoke the language. “There needs to be more resources put into protecting languages.
This sort of project with interactive CD Rom, website, dictionary and song book for children, shows the benefits of investing in languages programs” Prof Behrendt said.
