Indigenous Language News Radio

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages are the first language spoken at home in many parts of Australia. For some Indigenous Australians English is a third or fourth language.

The ABC with the help of the Aboriginal Interpreter Service in the Northern Territory is producing an Indigenous language News Service in Warlpiri, Yolngu Matha and Kriol.

Three ABC news bulletins are recorded each weekday.

They will go online for download and will be available for rebroadcast by Indigenous radio broadcasters.

The project aims to improve access to ABC news and celebrate the importance of language and culture in our community.
