  • Title : Story of Warramurrungunji 02
  • Date : 2004-11-10
  • descriptions
    • Description : Khaki Marrala tells the story of the female creator being Warramurrungunji. This is the creation story of how people first came to Northwestern Arnhem Land, and how they came to speak so many different languages. Warramurrungunji is the First Woman or Mother Creator of the Northwest Arnhem Landers. She came across the sea from the northwest, and landed first at the northern end of Croker Island, where she gave birth to the inhabitants and their language. From there she travelled to the mainland where she deposited both the coastal and inland peoples and assigned them all a language.

      • Description : This project documents, in as full a cultural context as is possible, the Iwaidja language of the Cobourg Peninsula, Northern Territory, Australia (Iwaidjan language family, non-Pama-Nyungan), still spoken by around 200 people but under increasing threat from English, as well as recording material from other languages of the region (Marrgu, Ilgar/ Garig, Amurdak and Manangkari) which are all reduced to one or two speakers each. In addition to linguists, the research team will include specialists in ethnomusicology, material culture / archaeology, and social anthropology, and will result in a comprehensive, searchable and browsable sound and video documentation, with Iwaidja transcriptions and subtitles alongside English translations, an Iwaidja dictionary of around 5,000 words, detailed phonetic analysis, and briefer materials on other languages of the area.

        • Description : Khaki Marrala is a senior Murran clan member whose father’s language was Iwaidja and whose mother’s language was Marrku. Khaki was born at Waningurarlarl in the Malay Bay area of; the Murran clan estate, situtated on the mainland not far from Croker Island, probably around 1930. As a child and adolescent he travelled extensively throughout the Cobourg Region and retains today a thorough knowledge of the area and its resources. At the time of the Second World War, when the mission on Croker was established, he was living at Inyjinaj on Croker Island, looking after and providing for a group of older Marrku speaking people. In the early days of the mission he worked on supply ships servicing the northern coast, and later settled more or less permanently at Minjilang where he worked, among other things, as a gardener. He remains at Minjilang today, where he is a key Iwaidja and Marrku language consultant for both the Iwaidja Documentation Project and Minjilang Endangered Languages Publishing Project.

            • Description : Marrku is is a now extinct Australian Aboriginal language spoken on Croker Island in north-western Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, Australia. It is the language traditionally associated with Mangkuladalkuj (Croker Island) and the Mandildarri-Ildugij clan. It has been classified by linguists as the only member of the Margic sub-family of the Iwaidjan family of Australian languages. However, its relation to other languages of its family is tenuous, and it is possible that Marrku forms a family-level isolate within the Australian phylum (Evans 2006). Marrku is no longer actively spoken. Joy Williams Malwagag and Khaki Marrala are the two 'last hearers' who have maintained a certain level of passive knowledge up to the present day.
