General Language Information:
Liyagawumirr is a Yolngu language from north-east Arnhem Land which is closely related to Djambarrpuyngu. Djambarrpuyngu is the most widely spoken Yolngu language and it already has the New Testament translated. Even though Liyagawumirr is linguistically very similar, it belongs to a different clan, so the Liyagawumirr people want to translate Scriptures into their own language.
Luke 2:29: “Garray, nheny gan ŋunhi ŋayathaŋal yan nhuŋuwuy nhe dhawuny’, ŋunhi nhe wäwunguŋal ŋäthil. Go mänŋun ŋarrany, nhuŋuwuynha nhe djämamirriny, ŋarra dhu dhiŋgamany burrmiḏiynha romdhuny.
