Abstract

Linguists who have studied Australian Aboriginal languages (myself included) often get asked how to translate this or that English expression into 'Aboriginal'. As anyone who has got very far in reading this book will know, there is no such language. Rather, there are, even now, at least 100 quite distinct Aboriginal languages, and 200 years ago there were many more. What relation is there between these language differences and other kinds of Aboriginal social differentiation?
