The race to save Indigenous languages
By Louisa Rebgetz
ABC Online
In the remote Northern Territory community of Wadeye linguists say four languages will be gone in the next decade.
Patrick Palibu Nudjulu is a Magati Ke elder, custodian of the Rak Naniny clan and is one of two remaining speakers of the Magati Ke language.
His sick and elderly sister can speak Magati Ke, but not to the point where she can help in the documentation of the language.
Maree Klesch works closely with Mr Nudjulu through her job at the Endangered Languages Centre at Batchelor Institute for Indigenous tertiary education.
