The other volume is entitled Innamincka Talk: a grammar of the Innamincka dialect of Yandruwandha with notes on other dialects. Innamincka Words is for readers, especially descendants of the original people of the area, who are interested in the language. It is also a necessary resource for users of the more technical Innamincka Talk. These volumes document all that could be learnt from the last speakers of the language in the last years of their lives by a linguist who was involved with other languages at the same time. These were people who did not have a full knowledge of the culture of their forebears, but were highly competent, indeed brilliant, in the way they could teach what they knew to the linguist student.Aboriginal AustraliansLanguagesAboriginal AustraliansDictionariesYandruwandha language L18aiatsislAboriginal AustraliansLanguages.Aboriginal AustraliansYandruwandha language L18.306.440899915Breen GavanMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQUkMaJRU9910136782603321Innamincka words1891206UNINA
