Today, about twenty of these languages are still widely spoken by children and adults.This book offers Aboriginal words from around Australia, arranged alphabetically, and includes a small selection of common phrases and sentences, and is a fascinating reference for anyone interested in knowing more about the original inhabitants of this vast continent.
