[Lingtyp] Fwd: Your message to Alt awaits moderator approval

Wed Aug 23 23:35:50 UTC 2017

Hi Kristine,

The Mawng Ngaralk (Mawng language) website contains outcomes of language
documentation efforts at Warruwi Community (Australia) over the last 50
years, which include specifically targeted language documentation projects.
The material is mainly in the Mawng language but reflects the multilingual
nature of language use there so includes Kunbarlang, Kunwinjku (Bininj
Kunwok), English and Torres Strait Kriol. The website aims to meet a range
of community needs rather than reflecting a single language documentation
project.

Cheers,

Ruth
