Abstract

The article presents information related to indigenous languages spoken by Aboriginals in Australia including the Anmatyerre and Warlpiri languages. It is noted that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people spoke at least 250 distinct languages at the time of European colonization. It is mentioned that linguistic heritage is not lost completely by many of the 1000 or so residents of Woorabinda. It informs about the growing network of indigenous language centres.
