Linguists and First Nations community work together to 'awaken' Bunurong language 8-)

Encouraging abos to waste their time doing feelgood stuff other than pursue education that will actually improve their income.

tsk tsk tsk

"Your partisans are speaking to you in a language dead for over two hundred years...."

"Can you tell me what it says?"

"It speaks in the emphatic ... I WILL BE FREE!"

Zombie lingo - more value in laying out Druittese or similar... for easier inter-communication... oh, yeah - down Victoria way - that'll go a long way to getting them all prosperous and decent citizens not on the bludge... teach 'em division, separation, and demanding for being disadvantaged.

The jaws of Homeland are yawning wider by the day... I doubt the new class of Asiatic overlords will treat them as well ...

'linguists' - another group of fantasists with an eddication and desperate for anything to return a dollar outside of their jobs serving coffee ... there's gold in them thar causes!!

On a positive note, learning a language develops abilities.
Being multi lingual has distinct advantages, my wife and I often have conversations in public places using two languages, holding our phones, as if we are complete strangers.
Particularly handy in Muslim dominated areas.

The dictionary has been launched online, and community members are now beginning to speak their tongue on country again
(Nice touch, speaking in tongue... very doctor of divinity)



Is that dictionary written in the traditional Bunurong script? What IS traditional Bunurong script like?

Come to think of it, what is the Bunurong word for dictionary?
For penguin? Ah, we can help with penguin:

The working group recently faced that challenge, trying to find the Bunurong term for penguin — a bird strongly associated with Millowl, or Phillip Island.

An aunty looked at the bird, and noted the way the father looked after the eggs.

They decided to call it the mother-father bird.

"That's the way our language works; there's a story in the word, we make up woke shite as we go" Ms Dawson said.



Pure 'oh, ffs!' material, 'aunty'.

Actually that’s a normal way for language to develop, that and loan words.

Make sure you ask for a ridiculous amount of money, that way they will reduce the amount to show that they are doing a good job.
If you only ask for a small grant they will knock you back so as to show that they’re not fooled by people who seek freebies.
