<div><br>
</div>
<div>Your project sounds like a great way to revive your language, and I wish you every success! You might find this guide to filling gaps in the vocabulary of Australian languages useful.</div>

<div dir="auto" style="text-align: left;">I am working on words for home in Dja Dja Wurrung, my language. Me and a couple of other Dja Dja Wurrung speakers are gonna put labels around the house. I am currently organizing a project that requires me and another
Dja Dja Wurrung person to only speak language or code switch. This is drawn from elements of the master-apprentice program but tweaked for our current situation (no fluent speakers). </div>
<div dir="auto" style="text-align: left;"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto" style="text-align: left;">My older sister had a baby as well, so the main reason is to speak it as much as we can around baby. </div>

</div>
<div dir="auto" style="text-align: left;">I have done the following through basic semantic extension - which a community member suggest I do instead of complex morphology. We gotta work with a first stage. This way we are teaching the community about country. </div>
<div dir="auto" style="text-align: left;"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto" style="text-align: left;">Woyimba - heat (from fire) - oven </div>
<div dir="auto" style="text-align: left;">Munmut - cold - fridge </div>
<div dir="auto" style="text-align: left;">Mumwil - couch - (mum 'bum', -wil 'having') </div>
<div dir="auto" style="text-align: left;">Mumbil - chair - (mum 'bum', -pil 'having') </div>
<div dir="auto" style="text-align: left;">Gapang - ice, frost - freezer, esky </div>
<div dir="auto" style="text-align: left;"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto" style="text-align: left;">These are subjected to change and variation, as one community member wants to use the word for ground oven or hot, heat (weather). </div>
<div dir="auto" style="text-align: left;"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto" style="text-align: left;">I am wanting to know what have other communities (under awakening or fluently spoken) have done in this situation just to get an idea to help with the elaboration and direction. </div>
