Gambay – First Languages Map and Teaching Resources

First Languages Australia is working with regional language centres nationally to develop a map of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages that reflects the names and groupings favoured by community.

Gambay means “together” in the Butchulla language of the Hervey Bay region in Queensland. You can explore the interactive map to see the languages spoken around the country, and hear it being spoken.

First Languages Australia have also complied a series of notes across several year levels and subjects to support teachers in teaching about Aboriginal and Torres strait Islander Languages as a cross-curriculum Priority.

Many of the language listings on Gambay include a link to a local Indigenous language centre or program as a point of contact for language advice.
