Peramangk language is also known as Merildekald and is a Pama-Nyungan language^[1] of the Peramangk lands in South Australia.^[2] Like its congener the Kaurna language, it was previously considered endangered.^[3]

Many Peramangk place names, cultural practices and dreamtime character names are well known. The words of the language and structural elements are shared with Kaurna language which in turn is thought to share much with Nganguruku, Ngarrindjeri and Ngadjuri languages among others. An alternative view is that the Peramangk language may be considered by some to have been distinctive from Kaurna but such a view is currently unsupported, pending community research. Peramangk language may be held dear by Peramangk elders, and hence it was cited that a Peramangk descendant is collecting and compiling language data.^[4]

A work compiled by The Lutheran Missionary Society within a short period after colonisation of mainland South Australia constitutes a reference manual for the Kaurna language and hence also for the Peramangk language, and the content of an available downloadable version is entirely searchable by text ^[5] so serving as a handy resource for all ages.
