A new Gamilaraay Yuwaalaraay language resource available for download.

*Gayarragi, Winangali* [1] is an interactive multimedia resource for
Gamilaraay and Yuwaalaraay, languages of northern New South Wales,
Australia. It is a resource for language learners at all levels, and for
anyone interested in the Gamilaraay and Yuwaalaraay languages. It contains
extensive language material, including audio. The main features are:

    * a searchable Gamilaraay Yuwaalaraay Dictionary with over 2,600
entries, all including audio

    * 957 spoken sentences from traditional speakers, all transcribed, and
hyperlinked to the dictionary

    * 30 songs and 14 stories, all transcribed, and hyperlinked to the
dictionary

    * games, including crosswords and memory/matching games

    * other language resources as pdf and text files

*Gayarragi, Winangali *was compiled by John Giacon and David Nathan. It was
launched on 23 March by Professor Larissa Behrendt, to an enthusiastic
audience of nearly 80 people, including many Gamilaraay and Yuwaalaraay
people, at the Koori Centre, University of Sydney. It was produced as a
CD-ROM but is also available by download (about 200MB, Win XP/Vista). It is
free for individuals and Gamilaraay Yuwaalaraay organisations. Go to
