A new book, 50 Words in Djukun: A Language Of The West Kimberley, is helping to preserve the language for generations to come. It was launched on December 23 and documents 50 fundamental words in the Djukun language, marking a vital step in sharing and keeping Djukun cultural heritage alive. The book has been endorsed by Djukun elders and reflects how far the community has come since committing to the self-funded Djukun 50 Words Language Revitalisation Project in 2023. “As a Djukun elder, it is my privilege to celebrate Jaala Ozies, my niece, on the release of her book 50 Words In Djukun. Her tireless efforts in preserving the Djukun language have enabled the younger generation to embrace their cultural identity with pride,” Djukun elder Mary Ozies saidExplore the Djukun words and other Aboriginal language groups at the 50 Words Project website.
