General Language Information:

The Anmatyerr language is spoken by approximately 1,000 speakers, with possibly a further 2,000 using it as a second language. Speakers are mostly located in the area of central Australia of approximately 40,000 square kilometres, centred about 200 km north of Alice Springs. There are no hard and fast geographical boundaries to Anmatyerr country, but the region extends roughly from Mt Allan (Yuelamu) in the west to some of the Sandover outstations in the east, and from Stirling (Wilora) in the north to around Native Gap in the south.

Communities within this area include Yuelamu (Mt Allan), Laramba (Napperby), Pulardi (Desert Bore), Ti Tree, Ti Tree Six Mile (Pmara Jutunta), Wilora (Stirling), some of the outstations on Utopia, Mulga Bore and Adelaide Bore. Many Anmatyerr people also live in regional centres, such as Alice Springs, and in other communities, such as Yuendumu, Willowra and Engawala (Alcoota).

“For Anmatyerr people, their language is more than a means of communication; it links them with their family, their country and their ancestral stories.” (quote from Jenny Green, author of Anmatyerr to English Dictionary)

 

The Gospel of John was published in the Anmatyerr language in 2010. There is also an Anmatyerr translation of Letters from Paul and James which was published in 2013.
