A FIRST DICTIONARY

This book and accompanying audio CD compiles the language and traditional knowledge of the three cultural language groups Erre, Mengerrdji and Urningangk from the East Alligator Rivers region of north-western Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, Australia. 

It is the first time these languages have been compiled into a dictionary and makes an important contribution to the recognition and maintenance of Aboriginal languages.

The colour scheme and graphic illustrations help give a unique look to this book. The inspiration came from the stone country of Arnhem Land where all three languages were spoken.

The jacket flap carries illustrations of three stones, representing the three languages.
