<b>Description:</b>
 
The Yanyuwa (also Yanyula, Anyula) language is spoken by the Yanyuwa people around the settlement of Borroloola (Yanyuwa burrulula) in the Northern Territory, Australia.
Yanyuwa, like many Australian Aboriginal languages, is a complex agglutinative language whose grammar is pervaded by a set of sixteen noun classes, whose agreements are complicated and numerous. Yanyuwa is ergative.
Yanyuwa is critically endangered, with just seven native speakers remaining. Despite this, the anthropologist John Bradley, who has worked with the Yanyuwa for three decades (and who also fluently speaks the language), has produced an enormous dictionary and grammar of the language along with a cultural atlas in collaboration with a core group of senior men and women, so Yanyuwa's impending extinction may not be permanent.
Yanyuwa speakers have also actively engaged in making a number of films and more recently have begun a project to animate important stories and songlines. Three important films that they have made are:
Kanymarda Yuwa -Two Laws, Buwarrala Akarriya - Journey East, Ka-wayawayama - Aeroplane Dance.
All three films have extensive narratives in Yanyuwa, with subtitles.
