A LANGUAGE IS ABOUT TO DISAPPEAR IN FAR NORTH AUSTRALIA. THE YAN-NHANGU LANGUAGE HAS BUT TWENTY SPEAKERS. Currently, the Yan-nhaŋu Language Team, which consists of both linguists and native speakers, is working to compile resources for the description of Yan-nhaŋu culture and the revitalization of Yan-nhaŋu language. These include a portrait of marine identity, a dictionary, and a learners guide to the language. •
