Hi Maia
Can’t help you with a list, but if you want to start one:
Adawa, Kriol (NT)
Western Bundjalung
Coastal Bundjalung
Yugambeh (all dialect areas of one language)
Gamilaraay, Yuwaalaraay, etc.
Dhanggati
Gumbaynggirr

some that may or may not be still in print but are available:
Ritarrngu
Marra
Mangarrayi

The new Wangkatja dictionary may be in print

Regards, Margaret

Good afternoon,

As I am preparing a lecture on semantics/lexical semantics for the Australia's Indigenous Languages that I am teaching at the University of Sydney this year, I came to wonder if anyone had ever counted how many Australian languages have a "published dictionary"?
By "published" I mean a resource that is available to be purchased or consulted from libraries, accessible from a website etc.
By "dictionary" I mean an extensive collection of "words + definition" - not just "words + translations" -, and probably anything over 200 entries? (as a rule of thumb).
By "language" I imply "not dialects".

Is there a list somewhere of "Australian languages that have a dictionary"?
What about other regions in the world?

Many thanks for your answers, cheers,

Maïa
