Gulbiyaay.

Welcome.

Gulbiyaay.

Welcome. This website features an increasing number of Gamilaraay language resources developed to assist community members in their language learning journey. In Gamilaraay, Guwaalay means – will converse, will talk to each other. The hope I have is that by creating increasingly more high-quality resources that span from fundamental to advanced areas of language, the path ahead for others seeking to learn will be easier. All resources here are free to use, modify and adapt in ways that will suite your language learning needs. My hope is that one day Garay ngiyani Gamilaraay guwaalaylay, we all will be talking to each other in Gamilaraay.

Quality Resources

Gamilaraay revitalization efforts will benefit from increased access to language, and importantly access to language programs that are a good cultural match for the broad aspirations of the Nation (both on-country and off-country). We are focusing on high-quality resources that are appropriate and respectful.

Evidence Informed

Language revitalization is a complex process that requires an understanding of the unique structures, histories, and contexts of each language. By using up-to-date knowledge, including data from linguistics, community, and current pedagogical approaches, our language resources will reflect the authentic use of the language, support fluency development, and align with community goals.

Structured Learning

Gamilaraay language revitalization will benefit from deep integration. If it sits on the periphery of peoples complicated and complex lives it will suffer from a lack of participation. Language needs to be integrated. Our attention is on the production of quality resources that can be integrated into daily life.

Connecting Community

Gamilaraay language should serve as a cultural vehicle that connects disconnected members of community. Language learning should be a catalyst for community cohesion and will build stronger relationships as exposure increases. Our resources focus on sharing language with reciprocity and care.

Soon we all will be talking to each other in Gamilaraay.
