More Queensland school students will be able to study basic aboriginal
language from 2015 after a rare collection of century-old notebooks of
Queensland's Aboriginal language has been donated to the State Library of
Queensland.


A draft curriculum subject in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
languages is ready and is being topped up by Aboriginal words and phrases
being discovered from these State Library notebooks.


“It’s in draft form at the minute for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
languages and they are hoping it will be available for schools to start
using and trialling by the end of this year,” State Library’s senior
indigenous languages expert Des Crump said.
