Language man working on Aboriginal languages occasionally sharing his thoughts. August 13, 2014. Today is the first anniversary of the passing of Mrs F. Roberts, the old lady who taught me more Marra than anyone else in the world. She was awesome. I miss her and it makes me so sad that the world is a lesser place without her in it. Below are a few words I gave at her funeral:. Gana ginya n-Marra gana ngarl-ngamanji: ngina, gana ginya n-daway. Ngula na-munanga gana… girlg-nan.gay marluy. En didei aim jis ...

Language man working on Aboriginal languages occasionally sharing his thoughts. March 25, 2014. Kevin Rogers talking up strong and the ignorance of Munanga.
