Bilingual dictionary preserves the Gurindji language

A bilingual print dictionary*Gurindji to English Dictionary* will be
launched at Freedom Day celebrations at Kalkaringi, Northern Territory, on
23 August.

Dr Felicity Meakins from The University of Queensland's School of Languages
and Comparative Cultural Studies helped capture the Northern Territory
language with other linguists and Gurindji researchers over 30 years

Only 40 of the 300 Indigenous languages once spoken in Australia remain,
and just 12 are still learnt by children.
