Abstract:

This book is a consolidated account of the Warrnambool language of the
Western District of Victoria based on early sources.  It is intended
to serve as a convenient reference for the Aboriginal people of the
Warrnambool area and for all researchers.  It is part of a series of
consolidated accounts of Victorian languages that I and others have
produced and are producing.  Each account brings together early source
material, mostly from the nineteenth century, and incorporates the
recordings made by Luise Hercus where they are available.  These
recordings date from the 1960s and are the only work by a modern
linguist based on tape-recordings of speakers. In the case of the
Warrnambool language only thirty-five words could be recorded.  Sadly
it is no longer possible to find people who still remember substantial
parts of any of the languages once spoken in Victoria.

Each account involves some interpretation of the source material.  In
particular it involves transcribing early notations into a consistent
broad phonetic form and restating points of grammar in current
terminology.
