Preserving and revitalising language, one word at a time.
Akaltye is a web application dedicated to the preservation and revitalisation of the Eastern and Central Arrernte language, spoken by fewer than 4,000 people. The goal of this project is to provide accessible tools for learning Arrernte and to build a growing database of language resources.

Akaltye aims to support:
- 🏠 Arrernte people wanting to reconnect with or strengthen their language
