Description:		The informant demonstrates the process of dyeing pandanus fibre with the yellow roots of the 'makula' or rotten-cheese fruit tree (Morinda citrifolia). She first scrapes off the brown outer bark where necessary, then cuts the roots lengthwise into pieces which she places in a container with boiling water. After a few minutes, when the roots have started to release their yellow colour, she adds the dried pandanus fibre. During the boiling process the fibre is stirred, and the colour checked. The fibre is boiled until the right tone of yellow is reached.
		This project documents, in as full a cultural context as is possible, the Iwaidja language of the Cobourg Peninsula, Northern Territory, Australia (Iwaidjan language family, non-Pama-Nyungan), still spoken by around 200 people but under increasing threat from English, as well as recording material from other languages of the region (Marrgu, Ilgar/ Garig, Amurdak and Manangkari) which are all reduced to one or two speakers each. In addition to linguists, the research team will include specialists in ethnomusicology, material culture / archaeology, and social anthropology, and will result in a comprehensive, searchable and browsable sound and video documentation, with Iwaidja transcriptions and subtitles alongside English translations, an Iwaidja dictionary of around 5,000 words, detailed phonetic analysis, and briefer materials on other languages of the area.
