Gooniyandi vs First Nations Languages

Gooniyandi is the traditional language of the region to the east and south of Fitzroy Crossing, in the southern central Kimberley. This app is based on Yarrangi Gooniyandi Thangardi: Gooniyandi – English Dictionary, First Edition published by the Kimberley Language Resource Centre and the Gooniyandi Aboriginal Corporation. It is designed to put the dictionary in your pocket. This app will be under development until June 2022. Once you’ve downloaded the app it will work even if you are offline. When connected to the internet, the latest updates from the Gooniyandi team will load.
