Who? What? Where?
Who, What, Where? is an engaging language-learning tool designed for everyone to practice and teach Indigenous languages. Developed collaboratively by Muurrbay Aboriginal Language and Culture Cooperative and Living Languages, this resource supports language revitalization efforts.
Using picture cards and posters as prompts, Who, What, Where? allows you to learn without relying on English. These materials serve as a starting point—you can expand the resource by creating your own, incorporating images that reflect your people, land, and interests.
This initiative is inspired by the International Decade of Indigenous Languages (IDIL), emphasizing the urgent need to support Indigenous communities in preserving and strengthening their languages.
