North Queensland Regional Aboriginal Corporation Language Centre

The area covered by the North Queensland Language Centre includes the 43 Aboriginal Languages, some of these are:
    * Bandjin
    * Jidinji Tablelands
    * Ngadjon
    * Birri
    * Jirandali
    * Nwyaigi
    * Birri-gubba
    * Jirrbal
    * Wanamarra
    * Djabugay
    * Kudjala
    * Warrgamay
    * Girramay
    * Kuka-Djungan
    * Wulgaru-kabavv
    * Gudjal
    * Kuku-Taipan
    * Yidinji
    * Gugu Yalanji
    * Manbarra
    * Jangga
    * Mulga/Buluaybar

The Centre covers the area south to Sarina, west to Richmond and north to Mossman in North Queensland. While research has shown that only one of these groups has over 20 fluent speakers, several of the languages are now being revived as a result of the work of the language centre and its committee members.

The Language Centre facilitates workshops to record speakers of various languages, and training community members in the use of appropriate technology and equipment for their projects. They are making increasing use of mobile workshops to reach communities in remote areas, where people are keen to begin language reclamation projects.

The State Library of Queensland holds resources for some of the languages of this region:  http://www.slq.qld.gov.au/info/ind/languages/qld/centres/north_queensland
