Parnkalla people

The Parnkalla, or Barngarla, are an Indigenous Australian people from the Port Lincoln, Whyalla and Port Augusta area of Eyre Peninsula, South Australia, Australia.[2][3][4]

The Barngarla language

"In 2011 an Israeli linguist, working with Adelaide University and the chair of linguistics and endangered languages, Professor Ghil'ad Zuckermann, contacted the Barngarla community about helping to revive and reclaim the Barngarla language. This request was eagerly accepted by the Barngarla people and language reclamation workshops began in Port Lincoln, Whyalla and Port Augusta in 2012" (Barngarla man Stephen Atkinson, 2013).[5] The reclamation is based on 170-year-old documents.[6]
