==Language revival==
{{as of|2020}}, Kunbarlang is one of 20 languages prioritised as part of the Priority Languages Support Project, being undertaken by First Languages Australia and funded by the [[Department of Communications and the Arts]]. The project aims to "identify and document critically-endangered languages — those languages for which little or no documentation exists, where no recordings have previously been made, but where there are living speakers".<ref>{{cite web|website=First Languages Australia|url=https://www.firstlanguages.org.au/projects/plsp|title=Priority Languages Support Project|access-date=13 January 2020|archive-date=24 February 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210224021102/https://firstlanguages.org.au/projects/plsp|url-status=dead}}</ref>
