All these stories make very strong points regarding the importance of languages to individuals and communities, which apply to everyone. I wish you well in saving your language. Stay committed.

I love this video. You give this message very well. I believe your languages are treasures from the past and present and also for the future. I hope you can keep caring for them, keep documenting and teaching them. One day many people, your young people, and others, are going to want to learn those languages. Through those languages there can be much knowledge and understanding that is not the same through translation. Thank you so much for the messages in your video. Lovely to see you on the U-tube. Hope to see you next week at Ngukurr!
