Aboriginal Languages Australia

The Tourist's Guide series provides an excellent introduction to the Aboriginal language that was spoken in a geographic region. Including interesting facts on the language, along with insights into the history of the region, word lists and how these translations came about. The series is indebted to the work of nineteenth century word list compilers, contemporary compilers of word lists, and professional scholars including R.M.W. Dixon, The Languages of Australia (1980) and Jakelin Troy, The Sydney Language (1992).
