Title: Draft Kunbarlang dictionary

Description: This draft dictionary was started during 1999 and 2000 as a word list by Paul Ngaragoidj of Warruwi. This initial wordlist was based on the one thousand word AIAS wordlist for Australian languages. During 2000 Rita Djitmu of Maningrida added in more information. During 2000 and 2001 Millie Djamuddjana of Maningrida contributed yet more information, including the majority of the examples used in the dictionary. The work of these people was compiled and edited by Carolyn M. Coleman. All errors remain the responsibility of the compiler. Further checking work has been underway in 2018-2020 by Carolyn Coleman, Millie Djamuddjana, Solomon Yalbarr, Paul Naragoidj and Isabel O’Keeffe. The dictionary is currently also being prepared for an online version.
