Abstract:

Ngarinyman is an Aboriginal language of the northern Victoria River District
in the Northern Territory (Australia). Many Ngarinyman people live in
Yarralin, Bulla Camp, Amanbidji (Kildurk) and around Timber Creek. 

The Ngarinyman to English Dictionary contains Ngarinyman words with English
translations, illustrations and detailed encyclopaedic information about
plants, animals and cultural practices.

Also included is a guide to Ngarinyman grammar and an English index. This
volume is ideal for both beginners and advanced speakers of Ngarinyman, for
translators and interpreters, and for anyone interested in learning more about
Ngarinyman language and culture.

The Ngarinyman to English Dictionary is a part of the AIATSIS Indigenous
Language Preservation: Dictionaries Project. This project is a response to the
alarming rates of language loss in Australia, and aims to support the
publication of Indigenous languages dictionaries. 

A dictionary contributes to language maintenance, supporting written texts of
all genres including important literacy development resources. Dictionaries
are a valuable addition to the tool kit of language learners, educators,
interpreters and translators. 

The Dictionaries Project will produce a number of much-needed, high-quality
dictionaries of Indigenous languages, which will contribute to community
efforts to revitalise and strengthen their languages. 

The Dictionaries Project is proudly funded by the Department of the Prime
Minister and Cabinet.
