New England's Aboriginal Languages


I have finally found a map of the distribution of New England's Aboriginal languages.

Looking at the map, I know something about every one with two exceptions: the Nganyaywana around Armidale and the Wgarabal around Tenterfield.

I know the Armidale group by a different name, but know nothing about the second. So I have some investigation to do.

Economic basis of traditional Aboriginal life in New England

I have begun putting up a post on the New England Australia blog on the economic basis of traditional Aboriginal life in New England.

Once completed, I will transfer it to this blog as a small building block in the development of New England's history prior to the European intrusion.
