<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">Dear RNLD list members who speak, or work with speakers of, an Australian language,<br><div><br></div><div>We are working with the Science Gallery at the University of Melbourne on an exhibition they are preparing themed around 'blood'. They will have various exhibits about the scientific nature of blood, and we have arranged to include a map of Australian languages displaying as many words for 'blood' as we can arrange in the short time frame (by May). Some will also have audio of the spoken word.</div><div><br></div><div>We are writing to ask if you would be able to supply an mp3 file of someone saying the word for 'blood' in an Australian language. This would be used in a publicly accessible display. Each speaker will be acknowledged in the documentation for the site. If you can do this as soon as possible (but before the end of April) can you please also include the language name and the speaker's name (if they are happy to have it made public) and email it to one of us.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Nick Thieberger and Rachel Nordlinger </div><div><br></div><div>Research Unit for Indigenous Language</div><div>School of Languages and Linguistics<br></div><div>University of Melbourne</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://indiglang.arts.unimelb.edu.au" target="_blank">https://indiglang.arts.<wbr>unimelb.edu.au</a> <br></div></div>
