- Summary:
-
"Rembarnga is a polysynthetic Aboriginal language of central Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory of Australia. The traditional territory of its speakers is adjacent to that of speakers of the north eastern Arnhem Landsuffixing languages (Yuulngu languages). Rembarnga has some features in common with these north eastern languages but appears to be more closely related to languages such as Ngandi, Ngalagan, Dalabon and Gunwinjgu. Rembarnga is a largely aggultinating. There is considerable use of case marking with nominals... some text materials, with translations, and a list of the Rembarnga names of some positively identified plants are given as appendices."
