Roper Kriol - verbs part 1

Young Way

Added by Ngukurr Language Centre

Description Here's a few Kriol words you may not have heard before. Dwayne Rogers and Kamahl Murrungun show us three common verbs used in Roper Kriol - moi, gubarl and ngum. They aren't borrowed from English but come from traditional languages: moi is from Warndarrang and gubarl is a Marra word.

See? Young people in Ngukurr do know some language!

Look out for more new words and cool demonstrations and Parts 2 and 3.

Made by the Ngukurr Language Centre with assistance from the Australian National University and the Federal Government's Indigenous Languages Support scheme.
