The project aims to advance understandings of Indigenous languages across Australia by investigating which languages are used where (‘language ecologies’), and how they impact on people's lives. With Indigenous co-researchers, the project plans to illuminate present and historical features of language ecologies. Its significance is in bridging a chasm between Indigenous people's understandings of languages, and a lack of good data on this for policy-makers. Expected outcomes are better empirical data on language use and new methods for identifying language ecologies. Intended benefits include increased appreciation of the rich history of Indigenous language use, leading to new capacity for policy-makers to distinguish language ecologies.

该项目旨在通过调查哪些语言在哪里使用（“语言生态”）以及它们如何影响人们的生活，来促进对澳大利亚各地土著语言的理解。与土著共同研究人员，该项目计划阐明语言生态的现在和历史特征。它的重要性在于弥合土著人民对语言的理解与决策者缺乏这方面的良好数据之间的鸿沟。预期成果是获得更好的语言使用经验数据和确定语言生态的新方法。预期的好处包括提高对土著语言使用的丰富历史的认识，从而为决策者提供区分语言生态的新能力。
