Warruwi - Learn Mawng Language vs Barngarla Usage & Stats
In 2014, the Warruwi Language Centre was set up on Warruwi. In a little building near the school linguists worked with the school and community members to create a quiet space where recordings can be made and listened to. Community members are working with linguists to revive and create Mawng literacy materials for reading and writing in Mawng.
This app captures the basic Mawng language with its recordings. App features:
- Translate English to Mawng language
- Listen to audio recordings
- Slower speed of audio pronunciation for learning
-------------
Warruwi is the main township on South Goulburn Island, approximately 300km east of Darwin at the eastern base of the Cobourg Peninsula.
The mostly Indigenous community has a population of approximately 500 people, but this number grows during the wet season and drops during the dry, when people travel to visit family and country.
The traditional language of the island is Mawng, with people speaking other languages including Kunbarlang, Kunwinjku, Djambarrpuyngu, Galpu and English. English is typically people’s second or third language.
