If you haven’t already listened to Part 1 of this conversation, you can listen to it here.
This is Part 2 of our chat with linguist Karla Zuluaga, who gives us an introduction to Australian indigenous languages and their current context, based on her studies, knowledge and experience to date.
In this second half of our conversation, we chat about bringing indigenous languages into education in indigenous and non-indigenous communities, as well as how we can better inform ourselves on indigenous languages and cultures in our local areas or all around Australia.
