Minyahgu and welcome to the Queensland Indigenous Languages Advisory Committee website.

This site has been made available to share information about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Language programs in Queensland, while also having a look at relevant news from interstate and overseas. Please feel free to use the links on the blogsite to make your own contribution and lets see how it grows.

The title Banma Kiya means “Talk”. Banma, from a North Queensland language – Warrgamay, and Kiya, from a southern Queensland language – Yugambeh. We’d love to have your word for banma or kiya as well. Look forward to hearing from you.
