Full description

The datasets comprise speech recordings of between 15 and 20 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages spoken within 29 different indigenous communities in Queensland. Many of the languages are either no longer spoken, or are near to being no longer spoken, so these recordings comprise an important historical and linguistic record of Aboriginal speech and languages in Queensland. The recordings are part of the wider Queensland Speech Survey conducted by Elwyn Henry Flint in the 1960s. The original recordings and other materials relating to the Queensland Speech Survey and the work of Elwyn Flint are housed in the Fryer Library (https://web.library.uq.edu.au/locations-hours/fryer-library). The Flint recordings constitute the largest and broadest collection of languages spoken in Queensland in the 20th century.
