Gayarragi, Winangali

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009 by daryn

Received an email today from Des Crump who has made us aware of this new multimedia resource which has just been made available as a download from the web, here are the details:

Website http://lah.soas.ac.uk/projects/gw/

Excerpt from website:

Gayarragi, Winangali is an interactive multimedia resource for Gamilaraay and Yuwaalaraay, languages of northern New South Wales, Australia (see pop-up maps). Gayarragi, Winangali was produced as a CD-ROM but is also available by download (about 200MB, Win XP/Vista).

Gayarragi, Winangali is a resource for language learners at all levels, and for anyone interested in the Gamilaraay and Yuwaalaraay languages. It contains extensive language resources, including audio:

  • a searchable Gamilaraay Yuwaalaraay Dictionary with over 2,600 entries, all including audio
  • 957 spoken sentences from traditional speakers, all transcribed, and hyperlinked to the dictionary
  • 30 songs and 14 stories, all transcribed, and hyperlinked to the dictionary
  • games, including crosswords and memory/matching games
  • other language resources as pdf and text files

So go and have a look, it looks like a great resource to have for learners of this language but also a good example of using technology as a language learning tool.
