{"product_id":"yagara-dictionary-and-salvage-grammar-karen-sullivan-9781760466176","title":"Yagara Dictionary and Salvage Grammar","description":"\u003cp\u003eMost English speakers in Australia know a few words of Yagara, the Pama-Nyungan language traditionally spoken in the area that now includes Brisbane and Ipswich. For example, Australian English \u003cem\u003eyakka\u003c\/em\u003e 'work' comes from the Yagara verb \u003cem\u003eyaga\u003c\/em\u003e 'to work'. However, no fluent native speakers of Yagara remain. The current volume compares the written records of Yagara to facilitate revitalisation of the spoken language.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 1: \u003c\/strong\u003e Grammar introduces the Yagara sources, which are then compared to extract a picture of Yagara's structure - its sounds, its words, and its grammar.
