Peramangk, also known as Merildekald, is an extinct Pama-Nyungan language of the Peramangk lands in South Australia.[1] Like its congener the Kaurna language, it was previously listed as endangered.[2]
History
Many Peramangk place names, cultural practices and dreamtime character names are well known. A proportion of the vocabulary and grammatical elements of the language may potentially be shared
A work compiled by The Lutheran Missionary Society within a short period after colonisation of mainland South Australia constitutes a reference manual for the Kaurna language and hence also for the Peramangk language, and the content of an available downloadable version is entirely searchable by text[6] so serving as a handy resource for all ages.
