Judith Stokes

Compiler, Anindilyakwa Dictionary

Anindilyakwa

Anindilyakwa dictionary work and writing-system development.

Judith Stokes worked for many years at Angurugu on Groote Eylandt and, with Warnindilyakwa speakers, compiled the Anindilyakwa Dictionary and helped shape the language’s practical writing system. Her four-vowel analysis is one of the two classic accounts of the famously complex Anindilyakwa vowel system.
