being undertaken by First Languages Australia and funded by the Department of Communications and the Arts. The project aims to "identify and document critically-endangered languages — those languages for which little or no documentation exists, where no recordings have previously been made, but where there are living speakers". Geographic distribution Official status Wunambal was originally spoken by the Worrorra people, who migrated from their original lands in the west Kimberley area from 1956. A continuum of these speakers ranges from "north of the Prince Regent River" to "as far north as Mt. Trafalgar". This designation originates from the shared influences common to the area; it is through these same inferences that contributes to Wunambal phonology and syntax association with Worrorran and Ungarinyin. Dialects/varieties Subject to debate by some scholars, Wunambal dialects include Wunambal proper, Gamberre, Kwini, Miwa, Yiidji, Wilawila, and Ginan. In contention by linguists is that some of these dialects may be considered languages of their own, while remaining closely related. "Worrarran languages constitute a group of [20] or so of named varieties spoken in the Kimberley bloc"; owed to the many similarities and high degree of mutual intelligibility among the three associated languages of the Worrorra people. Phonology There remain a few distinctive differences heard between Wunambal and its sister languages; personal history is a factor in these recognized differences. "This is a register of linguistically differentiated tribes, each with its own fixed point of geographic origin." Notably, Worrorran languages have cluster assimilation. Consonants The Wunambal language contrasts with other Kimberley languages in its contrast producing alveolar vs. post-alveolar sounds. Stops, nasals, laterals, rhotics, and glides are inclusive of manner of articulation: where voicing is not contrastive in stops. A table of consonant inventory and explanation of consonant production can be found in Wunambal: A language of the North-West Kimberley Region, Western Australia by TL. Carr. Stop sounds can be heard ranging from voiceless to voiced. /r/ can be heard as a tap, or a trill, and when weakly articulated, it can be heard as a voiced fricative [ɹ̝]. /ɻ/ can also range to an alveolar sound [ɹ]. /c/ can be heard as a fricative [ç], or an affricate [tʃ] in various word-initial positions. /ɡ/ can be heard as [dʒ] when preceding a long vowel /iː/ in word-initial positions. Vowels Wunambal "has been analysed as a six vowel system with the contrasts /i e a o u ɨ/,
