50 Words Project</a> aims to provide fifty words in every Indigenous language of Australia. The words are provided online with community permission, and with audio provided by a language speaker. The languages and words are displayed on an interactive map of
Australia you can explore here: <a href="https://50words.online/">https://50words.online/</a>. The map and associated materials are already being used as resources for schools and educational organisations to learn 50 words in their local language, and for
the general public to discover and appreciate the diversity of First Nations’ languages around Australia.</span></p>
