Wangkangurru

Wangkangurru is an endangered Aboriginal language spoken by the Wangkangurru people in Australia, primarily in the arid regions of the country. This language is part of the Pama-Nyungan language family and is connected to the cultural identity and heritage of its speakers. Efforts to revive and maintain Wangkangurru include documentation and language education initiatives, although the number of fluent speakers is very limited. Preserving such languages is crucial for keeping Indigenous culture and knowledge alive in the face of modern challenges.
