Language documentation in Australia started when European colonisers began interacting with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. The purpose of documentation has changed throughout time, now focusing on preventing further language loss and strengthening language use in communities. Bundiyarra – Irra Wangga Language Centre (BIW) works with seven languages of the Midwest, Murchison and Gascoyne regions of Western Australia. BIW’s work is driven by its community, meaning that solely documentation projects are uncommon and projects combining documentation and revitalisation take precedence. We will explore documentation as revitalisation through case studies of projects in two languages under BIW’s purview: Badimaya and Warriyangga.
