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.
David Minyimak was born at Araru near Cape Don in the 1930s. After spending time working as a cook at Murganella (Waak), where he was given the nickname ‘Cookie’, he moved to Minjilang on Croker Island. After the success of the Cobourg Land Claim in 1981, Minyimak and his brother and sister established an outstationat Gamurragi. He now divides his time between Minjilang and the mainland.
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.
