    Feel free to add regular snippets of knowledge. I’d be interested in knowing more about First Nations languages - and as I know next to nothing now anything you add is bound to be new to me!

      I have my notes from Uni still so I can defo add some snippets :D Murrinpatha is a language spoken in Wadeye (pronounced wad-e-ah, kind of) in far north NT. Sadly, a lot of languages in Tassie and Vic were lost (settler colonialism and genocide --eyeroll–) but I know bits and pieces, and there’s some really great orgs that are reconstructing the languages. I’ll defo add some info about languages closer to home!
