Australian Society for Indigenous Languages
We exist to serve Indigenous language communities in Australia and Timor.

The Australian Society for Indigenous Languages (AuSIL) is a faith based non-profit organisation committed to serving language communities as they pursue their goals for their languages and ethnolinguistic identity. We partner with communities in carrying out linguistic research and language documentation, translation, training, and the development of language resources.

Many people come to the AuSIL Bookshop to get scripture in their languages.
“Getting to meet so many people and experiencing the joy of helping someone find the Bible in their own language is such a blessing.
Pray that language will never be a barrier to anyone hearing, learning, and understanding God’s Word.” – Minh, Bookshop Manager

“But, you see, people have to hear that good message about Jesus Christ before they can believe in him.” Romans 10:17 (PEV)

Come and visit us in Darwin or our online store to get scripture in your language.

Earlier this month, Indigenous Christian translators from across the Top End gathered in Darwin for a two-week Experienced Translators Workshop.

The workshop gave translation teams dedicated time to continue translating Scripture in their own languages, with several groups reaching exciting milestones, including completing Bible book drafts and recording Scripture and songs.

Praise God for the faithful work happening in these language groups! Please pray for more Indigenous translators and more people to support this important ministry.

Our remote distribution workers Rob and Lisa Clements travel to communities in Central Australia with Scripture resources in local Indigenous languages. They set up bookstalls outside community shops and churches, creating opportunities to connect with people and local church leaders.

Recently, AuSIL Director Brian and intern Bek Moody with her husband Sam joined them on their Warlpiri route!

Please pray for Rob and Lisa, for safe travel and fruitful connections, and for more workers and supporters to join this important ministry.

You can support this ministry financially through the Wycliffe funding page here:
