Rob Kudnuitya Amery, a non-Aboriginal man, started working with Kaurna in 1989 and began running Kaurna language workshops in the early 1990s. From 1995 to 1998 he studied the language intensively for a PhD which was published as Warrabarna Kaurna! Reclaiming an Australian Language in 2000. He has been instrumental in setting up Kaurna language programs in schools and universities.
Rob has published widely on the Kaurna language and efforts to reclaim it. Working together with Kaurna people, he continues to research many aspects of the language (placenames, Dreamings, historical materials, its current use, etc.). In 2002, together with Kauwanu Lewis and Ngarpadla Alitya, he set up Kaurna Warra Pintyanthi to plan and develop the language and to establish a process to deal with numerous requests for names and translations.
