Hey don't cry. Alaska Native Language Archive providing access to Alaska's diverse linguistic heritage, okay?

I personally recommend Edna Ahgeak MacLean's North Slope Iñupiaq Grammar, Second Year! ♥️

Hello

I am of (stolen gen) Wiradjuri decent.

I feel that my people's culture, connection, and community has been ripped from my grasp before I even got to inherit it.

I want to learn the Wiradjuri language, help keep it alive but I need some help. Tips, advice, resource recommendations, ect for learning the language, especially one with as many cases as Wiradjuri.

I already know about Stan&Flo Grant's Wiradjuri Dictionary (based on Dr. Stan Grant and Dr. John Rudder's work)

I have mostly enjoyed learning languages on my own before, but have never had good results.

It also might be important to know that I am autistic
