Researchers in Australia have discovered that the country’s 250 Aboriginal languages – which vary widely - all derived from one source: a 12,000-year-old tongue that existed in a small part of northern Australia.
Following years of debate about the origins of Australia’s Aboriginal languages, a three-year linguistics study found that they all shared recurring similarities and differences even though they were spread across vast distances.
It found that the languages originated from a single tongue, known as Proto-Australian, which existed in a small northern region about 12,000 years ago and then spread as the last ice age ended.
