Macquarie Aboriginal Words is a dictionary of words from a selection of Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages. This ebook covers the languages of Diyari & Kaurna from South Australia. For each language, the following information is provided: · a brief history of the language · points on the grammar, spelling and pronunciation · an extensive wordlist organised by categories, such as animals, body parts, kin relationships, placenames, etc. · a dual index, i.e. English to Language and Language to English This ebook series is based on Macquarie Aboriginal Words originally published in print in 1994. The sheer diversity of indigenous languages in Australia must be close to the greatest and richest component of this country's national cultural heritage ... This book is much needed, as it gives a sense of the richness of a heritage which is disappearing in many areas of the country. NOEL PEARSON

A people's language is their treasure, and the words of a language represent a shared knowledge developed over centuries. This dictionary is a Dhurga treasure. In it you'll find words showing the natural history knowledge and culture of the Dhurga speaking people; words for family members, which reveal complex ways of relating to people; words that are hauntingly familiar that take you on a journey and fill you with warm memories. For many years Dhurga was a sleeping language. People spoke a few words, but not sentences. The Dhurga Dictionary and Learner's Grammar is a source of great pride, a crucial step forward in revitalising the Dhurga language so that it will be more widely spoken in our Aboriginal communities. This dictionary is the most concise, authentic and valid representation of the Dhurga language ever published.

This is a concise edition of the Australian National Dictionary (OUP 1989) which was hailed as a major asset for readers studying Australian literature that made all earlier dictionaries of Australian English obsolete. The volume contains nearly as many headwords as the original edition, yet provides fewer collations, and indicates the first recorded, and most recent, use of a word. It retains the parent volume's comprehensive coverage of uniquely Australian words and phrases; words for indigenous flora, fauna, and pastimes; and Aboriginal terms.
