Canberra, Australia (National Indigenous Times): IAD Press, has published the fifth title in its valuable Picture Dictionary series - this time in the Warumungu language, spoken in Tennant Creek and its surrounding communities. Warumungu people have worked together with linguists since 1982 to develop a spelling system that matches the sounds of the Warumungu language as closely as possible.
A Warnman to English and English to Warnman wordlist, together with a sketch grammar, has been produced after the Wangka Maya Pilbara Aboriginal Language Centre received funding from the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies to conduct research into the language.
