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.

Book Description
The Indigenous languages of Australia have been undergoing a renaissance over recent decades. Many languages that had long ceased to be heard in public and consequently deemed 'dead' or 'extinct', have begun to emerge. Geographically and linguistically isolated, revitalisers of Indigenous Australian languages have often struggled to find guidance for their circumstances, unaware of the others walking a similar path. In this context Re-awakening Languages seeks to provide the first comprehensive snapshot of the actions and aspirations of Indigenous people and their supporters for the revitalisation of Australian languages in the 21st century. The contributions to this volume describe the satisfactions and tensions of this ongoing struggle. They also draw attention to the need for effective planning and strong advocacy at the highest political and administrative levels, if language revitalisation in Australia is to be successful and people's efforts are to have longevity.
