Kumbainggar language (also spelled Gumbaingari, Gumbaynggir, Kumbaingeri, Gambalamam, and also called Baanbay) is an aboriginal Australian language. It is spoken by the Gumbaynggirr people, native to the New South Wales Mid North Coast. It is the only surviving language in the Gumbaynggiric family of Pama–Nyungan stock. Organised revitalisation of Kumbainggar has been underway since 1986 when Muurrbay Aboriginal Language and Culture Co-operative was founded at Nambucca Heads. Classes in Kumbainggar are taught through the North Coast Institute of TAFE up to Certificate II level. It has a binary way of counting numbers. ==Revitalization== Muurrbay and Many Rivers Aboriginal Language Centre (MRALC) supports Aboriginal language revitalization through activities that include - Providing access to linguistic expertise, and training for Aboriginal people. - Recording languages wherever possible, and assisting with access to archival materials, providing a regional storage base for these materials. - Producing language materials such as dictionaries or wordlists, grammars, learner’s guides, transcriptions and translations. - Providing community access to languages by using, and assisting communities to use information technology such as: Transcriber, Shoebox, Powerpoint and Adobe Audition. - Employing linguists, Aboriginal language researchers and specialists in Information and Communication Technology. - Raising awareness in the wider community about the value of Aboriginal languages. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kumbainggar language」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
