Andrew do you have a dictionary for your language !! Was there originally around 1200 indigenous languages in Australia? -----Original Message----- From: Poetryetc: poetry and poetics [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of andrew burke Sent: 01 September 2010 16:26 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Norn and the Shetland poet Delightful sounds, but it also brings up the sad subject of so many languages disappearing around the world - not the least being indigenous languages here in Australia. So, delighted and sad, I am off to bed to dream in a language all my own.
