Abstract
Darkinyung is an Aboriginal language of New South Wales which is now again being taught and learned. Caroline Jones (Senior Lecturer, Faculty of Education, University of Wollongong) has worked alongside the Darkinyung Language Group to develop a concise and authentic record of what is known of Darkinyung language today, based on research into historical sources mainly from the nineteenth century. This first modern documentation of Darkinyung language includes an explanation of the speech sounds and a suggested writing system, how the grammar works, in accessible terms with examples, a database of source words, including R. H. Mathews' notebook material, several dictionary list formats suited for different learners' needs.
