My Language Gathang

Where ever we live, it's important to learn the local language to feel like you belong, and that is what is missing in many people's lives.

Jeremy Saunders talks about the importance of revitalising endangered languages, and a little on how he's been going about it.

The Gathang language now has a web portal on First Voices, a site dedicated to the revitalisation of Indigenous languages.

Check out Muurrbay Aboriginal Language and Culture Co-orperative for more information on this.
