TopEndLingCircle

An informal network of linguists and language workers in Australia's Top End

After years of development, the team behind the Yäku Ga Rirrakay app has begun using it in the classroom. Click through to read about their work: https://t.co/fZ2DJT86qc

This survey is still open for those with some connection to linguistics who might seek accreditation through the @AusLingSoc - would be good to hear from some of the 'linguist-adjacent' professions and those working in Indigenous language projects https://t.co/ELf0MkRYJs

This video about featuring Mawng Rosemary Urabadi, Nancy Ngalmindjalmag and Sandra Makurlngu is featured on the Indigenous Literacy Foundation's curated selection of stories for Indigenous Literacy Day. Thanks Warruwi School for helping make this possible.

Mysterious Australian Aboriginal message sticks will blow your mind! Writing or funky art? Europe’s traditional ethnocentric approach cloud perceptions of what is writing and civilisation. Investigation reveals the enigma of message sticks and complexity of Aboriginal culture

CALL FOR ARTISTS - we are looking to work with artists to create some pieces on the theme of language revitalization and reclamation!

These pieces will feature prominently on our new website, a resource to support language revitalization practitioners.

A reminder from @FirstLangAU that #census2021 gives everyone the opportunity to let it be known that you speak your #Indigenous language. This helps govs and orgs provide and plan support for language services.
