| | Lingua Franca - 30/03/2002: Yolgnu Matha... |
 | | Yolngu Matha is taught at Northern Territory University by Michael Christie, an Arnhemland linguist, and Waymamba Gaykamangu, trained as a teacher, and now senior lecturer in Yolngu studies. |
 | | Ngatili is the red-tailed fl cockatoo, and gurranhdhula is the bush pheasant that bursts, madly flapping from the bushes as I pass. |
 | | The Yolngu Matha course at NTU is appropriately called ‘Yolngu languages and culture’, and the first words we learn are cultural words: words for painting, minytji, song, manikay, totem, wangarr and law, rom. |
