[Tom Worthington]

AUSTLANG, The Australian Indigenous Languages Database was launched at
the National Indigenous Studies Conference, on 1 October 2009
<http://austlang.aiatsis.gov.au/>. One of my students at ANU
worked on this:

"The AUSTLANG system assembles information about Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander languages from various sources. The core of AUSTLANG is
the AUSTLANG database (online Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
languages database) which is linked to Google Maps. The system also
facilitates access to other databases, PDF files and links to websites,
which all provides information about Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander languages. AUSTLANG enables users to search for a language by a
language name or a place name, or by navigating Google Maps, and to view
a variety of information on the language. AUSTLANG users can also launch
a catalogue search of the AIATSIS collection catalogue ..."
