Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 123
Book Description
A people's language is their treasure, and the words of a language represent a shared knowledge developed over centuries. This dictionary is a Dhurga treasure. In it you'll find words showing the natural history knowledge and culture of the Dhurga speaking people; words for family members, which reveal complex ways of relating to people; words that are hauntingly familiar that take you on a journey and fill you with warm memories. For many years Dhurga was a sleeping language. People spoke a few words, but not sentences. The Dhurga Dictionary and Learner's Grammar is a source of great pride, a crucial step forward in revitalising the Dhurga language so that it will be more widely spoken in our Aboriginal communities. This dictionary is the most concise, authentic and valid representation of the Dhurga language ever published.
