      • 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 : Iwaidja is an endangered Australian Aboriginal language spoken in north-western Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, Australia. It is the language assocciated with the country of the Murran, Mayurdam, Gardurra and Minaka clans, located at the eastern end of the Cobourg Peninsula and an area on the mainland coast immediately beyond it, as well as on parts of Croker Island. It has been classified by linguists as belonging to the Iwaidjic sub-family of the Iwaidjan family of Australian languages. Today Iwaidja is spoken by around 150 people, who are mostly based at Minjilang on Croker Island, with satellite populations on Goulburn Island, Oenpelli, Jabiru, Darwin and Maningrida.

            • Description : Kunwinjku is a member of the Bininj Kunwok dialact chain located in Western Arnhem Land in an area bounded by the Stuart Highway in the west, the Arafura Sea to the north, the Goyder River to the east, and the Roper River to the south. It is spoken by around 2000 people. Although only distantly related to the Iwaidjan languages, there is widespread bilingualism between Kunwinjku and both Iwaidja and Mawng, due to their neighbouring locations, and to the fact that Kunwinjku was used as a lingua franca in the region, at least since the early twentieth century. Kunwinjku was adopted by missionaries due to its linguag franca status, and the earliest bible translations in Kunwinjku date from the 1930s. Minjilang, Croker Island, which now has the largest concentration of Iwaidja speakers, is also home to a large number of Kunwinjku speakers.

        • Description : Joy Williams Malwagag was born at Jamarldinki (Cape Don) on the Cobourg Peninsula in 1946. She spent the early years of her life there before moving to Minjilang with her mother, Hazel Mamiyarr, in the mid 1950s. Joy grew up in a multilingual community in which her father’s language Iwaidja was dominant. Although Iwaidja became Joy’s first language, her mother consistently spoke to her in Marrku throughout her childhood and youth, and she has thus maintained a good passive knowledge of this language up to the present day. In addition, Joy hasa high level of competency in Mawng, Kunwinjku, and English. In 1969 she started working at the school at Minjilang, became qualified, and has worked there ever since. In the mid seventies she acted as an Iwaidja language consultant with Summer Institute of Linguistics linguists Noreen Pym and Bonnie Larrimore, and has produced books in Iwaidja for the school. More recently she has worked as a language consultant for the Iwaidja Documentation Project and the Minjilang Endangered Languages Publication Project.

            • Description : Mawng is the traditional language of South Goulburn Island and the adjacent mainland. It is a member of the Iwaidjic sub-family of the Iwaidjan family of Australian languages. While not mutually intelligible with Iwaidja, the two languages share a large number of commonly occurring cognates, and given the proximity of the two languages (Mawng is associated with country immediately to the east of Iwaidja country) it is estimated that a majority of Iwaidja speakers have at least a passive knowledge of Mawng, and vice-versa. Perhaps the most imediately salient difference between the two languages is in the noun class system, which Mawng has retained, and which Iwaidja has lost.

            • 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.
