[[ For each language, determine as best you can with the resources available a morphological typology of the language. E.g., is it primarily isolating, agglutinative, etc., and how do you know? Are there patterns in that language that reflect more than one morphological type? If there is inflectional morphology (ideally the language you choose will have some!), what sorts of strategies are used (prefixation, suffixation, etc.)?]]

[[Determine basic information about each language. How many speakers are there, where do they live, what other languages might they know, what is the status of the language in terms of its transmission to current and future generations, is there a normative orthography of some sort? What is the orthography like (what script / any interesting features / multiple official/historical orthographies / etc.)? Provide ISO codes used for the language, especially three-letter ones. Basically all of this information should be findable on ethnologue and wikipedia (in one language or other), but feel free to use any source that seems reliable (academic papers, census data, etc.). Cite the sources you use.]]

[[Give some estimation of how likely it will be for you to find at least a few pages' worth of text in this language. In other words, see if you can find something online quickly—websites in the language, a translation or the bible or universal declaration of human rights, a blog, a grammar book with lots of examples, etc. Don't limit yourself to online resources—if library resources exist (even if not available at Swarthmore), that can also work! (If it's not at all likely that you can have some amount of text in the language on your screen or in your hand within a week or two, you probably should find some other language to work on!)]]

+Tarditional Tiwi is polysynthetic and higly inflected [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiwi_language], but as New Tiwi is less complex I would say it may be becoming a fusional language.
