      • 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.
