| مستخلص: |
The article provides information on Anindilyakwa, the language spoken at Groote Eylandt, an island in the Gulf of Carpentaria, within sight of the northern coast of the Australian mainland. Almost all words in Anindilyakwa end in a, giving speech a very particular musicality. Meanwhile, clusters of up to three consonants often occur. It is spoken by Warnindilyakwa aborigines, who have lived in this area as littoral hunter-gatherers for generations. The highly complex Anindilyakwa grammar is not related to any other Australian language. It is also polysynthetic. |
