Also missing my favourite person in the world who lives on the other side of the world...
Oh look, I want to say once a month, but that's pushing it
Honestly, there probably is. This place has a lot of children centred jobs going around
yeah a few of the languages around here have it. It does have a tense system that I'm pretty sure is kinda unique around here too.
Im a bit far from Uluru to give a good answer
Im from Qld. I studied Linguistics at UQ. I think the state Government is paying. End goal = Miriwoong language not dying
Its a locally owned, grant + gov funded I believe
I encounter more dangerous wildlife in QLD tbh haha
Not sure, Ill ask the elders
Not gemination, just the /u/ phoneme. /Th/ is the dental t.
system of semantically-loaded coverbs and semantically-bleached but inflectionally-loaded verbs. 2/2
So miriwoong is a member of the jarrakan language family. Its non-Pama nyungan which makes it a little but rarer. It employs a complex 1/2
Ay thats true
Probably have met them haha

I started with an internship up here last yr and then came back up after talking to the same people. You have to go remote haha
Just speak it all the time. and listen to as many old texts as you can.
You get used to it ☺
Those who are in a class. If there are indigenous and non-indigenous, we teach them all.
We dont get a huge amount of listeners, but it useful to create material to practice and broadcast so the langauge is still spoken in media2
All indigenous australian languages are localised to some degree. Before European invasion, there were over 300 distinct languages spoken1/2
It makes it easier insofar that there are still fluent speakers. More urban areas havnt had native speakers for decades, even centuries
