Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Australian English Mary Carmel Charles (15 July 1912 – 1999) was an author and the last fluent speaker of the Nyulnyul language of Western Australia.[1] She was born to the Nyulnyul tribe in the Kimberley region of Western Australia at the Beagle Bay Mission.[2] She played an important part in the documentation of the language and the writing of a Nyulnyul grammar, despite the fact that she was deaf.[3]Шаблон:Rp
The text in Charles's book, Winin, is bilingual and at the back of the small book is a guide to pronunciation of Nyulnyul words and word lists translating to and from English.
The story is a traditional story written for children. It is set "In the dreamtime ...",[1] when the emu flies higher than all the other birds, and lives in the Milky Way. The other birds who fly close to the ground are jealous. The brolga tell the emu that if its wings were made smaller it would be able to fly even higher, and because the emu wants to fly higher it lets the other birds trim its wings. With small wings, the emu can't fly at all and will always stay that way.
In the book Charles is quoted:
