Gambay - First Languages Map

First Languages Australia has developed an interactive map to display and promote the diversity of Australia’s Aboriginal languages and Torres Strait Islander languages. The map is called Gambay, which means ‘together’ in the Butchulla language of the Hervey Bay region in Queensland.

The data included on this map has been contributed by regional language centres and programs working directly with language communities.

Gambay showcases over 780 languages. It is the first Australian map that allows Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities control over the way their languages are publically represented.

We acknowledge the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples of Australia as the traditional owners and custodians of the land. We commit ourselves to actively work alongside them for reconciliation and justice. We pay our respects to the Elders; past, present and future. As we take our next step we remember the first footsteps taken on this sacred land.

 

The Edmund Rice Centre supports and endorses the ULURU STATEMENT FROM THE HEART. We urge all Australians to take up the Indigenous people's invitation to learn about and promote it.
