Marrin Gamu is a special video created to show the diversity and beauty of Australia's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages.

There are five languages featured in this clip created by First Languages Australia: Kalaw Kawaw Ya, Warrgamay, Nywaygi, Yugambeh and Wiradjuri.

Across Australia there are hundreds of traditional languages.
