ABC Radio News in Warlpiri and Yolngu languages

ABC Radio, with the help of the Aboriginal Interpreter Service in the Northern Territory, is trialling an Indigenous language News Service in Warlpiri and Yolngu Matha for the next year.

Two ABC news bulletins will be recorded each weekday and will go online for download. They will be available for rebroadcast by indigenous radio broadcasters.

The project aims to improve access to ABC news and celebrate the importance of language and culture in our community.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages are the first language spoken at home in many parts of Australia. For some Indigenous Australians English is a third or fourth language.
