    Yolngu Sign Language: An Undocumented Language of Arnhem Land

    Expand/collapse
    Details
    Publication TypeJournal articleAbstractRecently there has been an increase in studies documenting the world’s languages. Most of
    these studies concentrate on spoken languages but there is a growing effort to document
    sign languages. In this short paper we describe one of the many undocumented sign
    languages of Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory of Australia. This Indigenous sign
    language is known locally as Yolngu Sign Language (YSL). Although this language is used
    in daily interaction, many of its users are not aware that it is a language per se. With
    this brief description of YSL we hope to make our readers aware of the existence of this
    language. Another aim of this paper is to generate some general discussion on the status
    of Indigenous sign languages in Arnhem Land, which we believe have become endangered.
    Although YSL is an endangered language there are still measures that can be taken to
    prevent this language disappearing.
