In Australia, a community in the far west of New South Wales is hoping to revitalise the local Aboriginal language with a new course aimed at adults.
An 18-month course in Paakantji started at the Menindee Central School last week.
The school is hoping to get the program accredited so graduates can teach others.
It’s one of a number of community-run programs throughout New South Wales.
