This handbook makes available short grammatical sketches of Australian languages. Each
grammar is written in a standard format, following guidelines provided by the editors, and
includes a sample text and vocabulary text. The contributions to this volume are salvage
studies, giving all the information that is available on four languages which are on the point
of extinction, and an assessment of what linguistic impressions can be inferred from the
scant material that is available on the extinct languages of Tasmania.
