Usage notes

In 2010, the Kaurna Warra Pintyanthi, an organisation reviving the Kaurna language, reformed a previously-used spelling system devised by Lutheran missionaries Christian Teichelmann and Clamor Schürmann, to more accurately and consistently record the language’s phonology. This spelling is the now-superseded form.
