Some 3000 people speak the Warlpiri language of the Northern Territory – now there’s a new way to help them keep it alive

Aboriginal Studies Press has released the Warlpiri Encyclopaedic Dictionary: Warlpiri Yimi-Kirli Manu Jaru-kurlu, which also includes a grammar and guide to the country and cultures where it is spoken.

It’s the result of nearly a century of scholarship and experience, including “generous, patient, and insightful input from hundreds of Warlpiri speakers.”

The Warlpiri Encyclopaedic Dictionary, by Mary Laughren with Kenneth Hale, Jeannie Egan Nungarrayi, Marlurrku Paddy Patrick Jangala, Robert Hoogenraad, David Nash, Jane Simpson is available HERE.
