Abstract:

Mudburra is an Aboriginal language of the Northern Territory (Australia). Many
Mudburra people live in Elliott, Marlinja, Yarralin and Kalkaringi. The
Mudburra to English Dictionary contains Mudburra words with English
translations, illustrations and detailed encyclopaedic information about
plants, animals and cultural practices. Also included is a guide to Mudburra
grammar, an English index and handsigns used by Mudburra people. This volume
is ideal for both beginners and advanced speakers of Mudburra, for translators
and interpreters, and for anyone interested in learning more about Mudburra
language and culture. The Mudburra 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.
