Abstract
The Djinang language is the western-most member o-f the "Yolngu" language group. It is

settlement on the mainland about 20 kilometres south of the Crocodile Islands. Most Djinang
speakers live either a t Ramingining» or a t one of several o u tstatio n s, all of which lie within
about 30 kilometres of Ramingining. A few Djinang speakers live at Maningrida, and at
Milingimbi; and a few women have married men who reside on Elcho Island» and live there with
