The Australian continent lays claim to the world's longest continuous collection of cultures, including over 440 unique languages. Aboriginal English dialects are spoken widely, & recently there has been an inspiring renaissance of First Nations languages, as communities reclaim & renew them. This title tells this story, from the earliest exchange of words between colonists & First Nations people to today's reclamations. It is a creative and exciting introduction to a vital world of language.
