Indigenous Australian Languages Matter 250 Number of Aboriginal languages spoken in Australia before invasion. 600 Number of dialects spoken in Australia before invasion. 60 Number of Aboriginal languages considered 'alive' and in use as a first tongue today. English is still a foreign language for many Aboriginal people. If they don’t understand they are disadvantaged Source: https://www.creativespirits.info/aboriginalculture/language/lack-of-aboriginal-language-interpreters-can-cost-lives#ixzz4biZnKj6s What happens if a language is lost? Languages carry cultural knowledge, so the loss of a language means the loss of culture, of Aboriginal people’s connection to their ancestors. This in turn has the potential to impact on Aboriginal people’s health and well-being. Research shows that strong culture and identity helps develop resilience [4]. Professor Ghil’ad Zuckermann, a linguist from the Adelaide University, agrees: “Without a language, you do not have cultural autonomy, you do not have intellectual sovereignty, you do not have culture, you do not have heritage,” he says [2]. The loss of languages is also associated with economic and social costs.
