Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Languages

Editor: David Nathan

There are more than 200 Australian Indigenous languages. Less than 20 languages are strong, and even these are endangered: the others have been destroyed, live in the memories of the elderly, or are being revived by their communities. This site has annotated links to 231 resources for about 80 languages. About 35% of these resources are produced or published by Indigenous people.

Bienvenue sur Persée, le portail de revues scientifiques en sciences humaines et sociales, créé par le ministère de l'éducation nationale, de l'enseignement supérieur et de la recherche. Suscité par la communauté des chercheurs, soucieux d'une meilleure visibilité de leur production scientifique, le portail PERSEE a pour vocation la numérisation et la mise en ligne des collections rétrospectives de ce vaste corpus. La diffusion élargie de ce riche patrimoine scientifique permettra une meilleure valorisation de la recherche française, dans une logique d'accès public et gratuit.

Welcome to PERSEE, the website for scientific journals in social and human sciences, established by the Ministry of State Education, Higher Education and Research. Launched on the initiative of the research community, who are keen for their scientific output to have greater visibility, the PERSEE website has as its mission the digitisation and online distribution of back collections of a vast corpus of periodicals. Wider availability of this rich scientific heritage will benefit French research by making it freely and publicly accessible.

Not only does the guide describe the wide variety of the traditions in this part of Nigeria, attention is also paid to normal day-to-day facets of life in the town and villages. The site contains a complete guide on Igbo language, highlighted in sample conversations (including native audio clips), and explains its basic grammar structure.
