WHAT

Miriwoong language is categorised as critically endangered, with fewer than 12 truly fluent speakers remaining. The wisdom and culture of Miriwoong people can only be truly understood through the language that has been used for thousands of years to teach it. Hence, as the Miriwoong language has been forced into obscurity so too has the culture and identity of Miriwoong people. This is a design exercise to see how can I showcase my skills to do a digital solution for Miriwoong community.

Existing Miriwoong app: iOS, Android

HOW

As this was a design exercise, with minimal resources, I tried to choose my users for app review and user interview to match the persona as close as possible so that the result would not be deviated much and still got the ball rolling. I did researches about Miriwoong communities to know more about them via Miriwoong website, blogs and social networks (with #miriwoong).
