July 2022 Australia.      In 2019, Gumabynggirr peoples lost their only remaining first language speaker, leaving them with only one adult proficient speaker.  After sustained ASLA 3-day workshops in 2016, 2018, 2019, & 2020, 12 highly proficient speakers were developed through ASLA. This led to the creation of a language school that opened in 2022. When viewing the clips, be sure to read the explanations beneath the video clips.
