Archive for the ‘Awabakal Language’ CategoryDreamtime a reality as ancient language returnsMonday, January 21st, 2008 by adminThe extinct Awabakal Languages’s strong rhythms struck local Aboriginal Daryn McKenny as he revived ancient words over the past eight years… This story appeared in the Sun Herald, whilst some Aboriginal terminology and sentences we would have liked worded differently, it neverless helps get languages on the agenda with the wider community. Languages given fighting chanceWednesday, September 12th, 2007 by adminToday we have had another story published in a local newspaper in Newcastle, The Star, the story was written by Andrew McLeod from The Star. What was good about this story is that Andrew actually came in and done a proper face to face interview with Dianna and myself. The story talks about how we developed Miromaa and where it is being used and why we did it etc. Once again the only problem was that he referred to Awabakal language and people using our organisation spelling “arwarbukarl”, we apologise for this and am again sorry that we spell our org’ differently. Anyway I have attached a PDF of the story here - Languages given fighting chance Childrens Song - Heads and Toes in AwabakalWednesday, August 22nd, 2007 by adminThis is the song and video clip which is used to teach young children some basic Awabakal language, this was put together by Dianna. Let us know what you think… |
