Description:Nine Yanajanak 'stone country' song items recorded on DV by Bruce Birch in Minjilang
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.
This singing session was recorded on DV by Bruce Birch. A total of 9 Yanajanak song items were recorded. There was much noise from children dancing and playing.
The song texts are in Amurdak language. The commentary between songs is in Iwaidja and English.
Recorded at by Bruce Birch at Minjilang. No mpeg file created, just extracted WAV file for creation of individual song files.
