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. | ||

Archie Brown was born at Minarri, one of Reuben Cooper’s timber mills at the eastern end of the Cobourg Peninsula in 1941. As a young man he spent time working in Darwin, before moving to Croker, where he worked at the mission as a butcher and mechanic. He remains based at Minjilang today. | ||
Sam was born at Minjilang on Croker Island in 1944. As young man he worked at the timber mill at Ingbarlmun. When the Aboriginal Welfare Department removed the compressor from the mill at Ingbarlmun, forcing many people there to relocate, Sam took up a job in forestry and has travelled widely assisting with tree-planting programs. He is now based at Rruwirrk Outstation on Croker Island. | ||
Ronnie Waraludj was born at Cape Don in 1955. He moved to Minjilang as a child and attended the mission school on Croker Island. After another brief period at Cape Don in the early sixties he moved back to Croker Island permanently. | ||
