		The correspondence r:rl and the prehistory of western Pama-Nyungan
		It is vital to establish a classification (subgrouping) within Nyungic (the western branch of Pama-Nyungan) to establish the position of Western Desert and what are its closest 'sister' and 'cousin' languages since, it is argued, the WD homeland is likely to be in or near to the territory one of these closely related sub-groups.

		English language and literacy in the regions under study need to be seen in the context of the range of languages evident in the region.
		Language courses are available from the Institute for Aboriginal Development for both Eastern and Western Aranda, which seem at least as different from each other as either is from such other dialects as Anmatjirra.
		Literacy, in an ecological approach to language, as advocated by Barton (1994), should not be seen as a separate, detachable skill (something done for its own sake in a self-contained classroom), but as something which needs to be integrated with other social practices and with the physical environments.

		Planned languages can be created from scratch (see constructed languages) or they can be modifications of original languages, as when a standard language is created.
		They may never learn to read the new language, and they may be forced to acquire it in the way they learned their first language --by listening, guessing, and imitating.
		In learning their first language, infants acquire a kind of categorical perception which they were not necessarily born with.

		Pitjantjatjara is actually a single dialect of a huge language group known as the Western Desert Language with perhaps 5,000 speakers extending over a vast area of Central Australia.
		The Western Desert Language was once spoken over an area embracing one and a quarter million square kilometres, or one sixth of the continent, taking in parts of the Northern Territory, South Australia and Western Australia.
		Pitjantjatjara, the strongest dialect in the Western Desert dialect chain, is still spoken today in many parts of the Central such as the Mutitjulu community at Uluru, while Arrernte, the language of the Alice Springs area, is still heard every day around the town.

	ADA Curriculum _ Own Language (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Languages that students identify as their 'own' are normally those of their mothers or fathers, or languages that they otherwise have a direct 'genetic' connection with.
		These students have what is referred to as 'passive competence' in their own language; they understand when it is spoken to them but they typically respond in another tongue, and, indeed, may be reluctant to speak it, feeling embarrassed, or intimidated or otherwise unsure of themselves.
		In passive competence situations students may have a range of shortfalls in their own language mastery; sometimes there are pronunciation problems, normally the full range of grammatical constructions and semantic nuances are not mastered, and there are typically vocabulary reductions.

	4.6 THE WESTERN DESERT
		The Western Desert languages form a large family of languages that extends from Port Augusta in South Australia in the east, to the Kimberley and Port Hedland in the west.
		Schools at Warburton, Jigalong, Punmu, La Grange and Strelley have used Western Desert languages to a greater and lesser extent over the years, sometimes able to support a bilingual programme, sometimes using language in social studies courses.
		The former is a common term for 'strangers from the east' in the north-western desert languages, while the latter refers to 'strangers from the north'.

	AusAnthrop: diffusion of the section system in the Western Desert
		In the Western Desert cultural bloc (Map 1), the spread of the system was completed in the thirties or forties, superimposing itself onto a social organisation that hitherto was dominated by socio-centric or ego-centric generational moieties.
		I have been trying to analyse routes of diffusion in the Western Desert and have, may be erroneously, taken as granted that at least some terms moved into the desert from the Pilbara area.
