First Nations languages: A tapestry of culture and identity - Thook ke Juur Tueŋ: Ee kë cï tääu në ciɛɛŋ yic ku të yenë raan ŋic thïn

Anyone new to Australia can appreciate how important it is to keep your mother tongue alive. Language is integral to your culture and Australia's Indigenous languages are no different, connecting people to land and ancestral knowledge. They reflect the diversity of Australia’s First Nations peoples. More than 100 First Nations languages are currently spoken across Australia.
