Title: Yirrkapiri Wangka: Special Respect Speech Register Wordlist

Description: Tjaa nyantulypa is a separate language used by the yirrkapiri—parents, uncles and aunties and grandparents of an adolescent boy going through his special boy (initiation) ceremony. In this research, we have started to use the term ‘yirrkapiri wangka’, meaning the wangka or language used by the yirrkapiri, as the main name for this special respect language. Importantly, yirrkapiri wangka has two aspects. Firstly there are the everyday yirrkapiri wangka words that everybody, including women and children, can know and use. Secondly, there are the secret/sacred men’s words that we have not documented in this research. Accordingly we acknowledge that yirrkapiri wangka has more words than we have listed in the Wordlist, but they cannot be discussed here. We can only describe the ‘public one’, that is the yirrkapiri wangka that women and children are allowed to hear. In the wordlist all Yirrkapiri Wangka head words and example sentences use the Ngaanyatjarra orthography. These words are then translated into Ngaanyatjarra, Pitjantjatjara, and English using the respective orthographies for each language.
