🖤💛❤️ Who has inspired you on your language journey?

An Elder? A teacher? Someone in your family? Or a young person bringing language home?

This Aboriginal Languages Week, we’re celebrating **Living Languages, Strong Futures** and the people who make that possible.

At Muurrbay, we see the care, commitment and community behind every language lesson, yarn and resource. We honour our Elders and language champions, and everyone taking their first steps in learning.

💬 **Give your language champion a shout-out in the comments!** Tell us who they are and what their encouragement means to you.

Your comment might be the encouragement someone else needs to begin. 🖤💛❤️

Today the Mangwun Indigenous Language Research Group officially launched their Dhanggati picture book Ngay gimbisigu ga marrn gayirrn, a story told by Uncle Len Duckett in 1966.

Dr. Raymond F Kelly, Dr. Jean Harkins, and Mr. Nicholas K Watson BA (Hons), alongside Professor John Maynard, hope this book will serve as a powerful educational resource for Dhanggati Language learners and teachers.

We will talk more about the significance of this story in future post, but for now we want to congratulate the Mangwun Indigenous Language Research Group on the countless hours they put into making this book a reality. What a way to honour Aboriginal Languages Week.

THANK YOU FOR CELEBRATING ABORIGINAL LANGUAGES WEEK WITH US!

A big thank you to everyone who came along to our very first Gumbaynggirr Simulation Café! ☕️

Thank you to the Aboriginal Languages Trust for hosting Aboriginal Languages Week. It’s a wonderful chance to celebrate and strengthen Aboriginal languages across our communities.

☕️ A very special thank you to Mmm Aunty’s Coffee for the free coffee, tea and hot choccy. You made the café experience extra special! ❤️

And a HUGE thank you to all the services, organisations and community members who joined in. Your support, enthusiasm and willingness to give Gumbaynggirr a go made the day a real success. It was so good to see everyone come together to celebrate and support our language.
