Abstract

Burarra is a non-Pama-Nyungan, multiple-classifying, prefixing language spoken in Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory. Burarra people*s country is in Central Arnhem Land, along the Blyth and Cadell Rivers and the coastal and inland areas around and between them. Many people now live to the west of this, at Maningrida, a settlement on the mouth of the Liverpool River.
