What is the native language of Australia?
There is/was no single native language of Australia. Pama-nyungan is the largest indigenous language group of the original Aboriginal Australians, consisting of 160 of the 228 identifiable languages. One of the languages within this family group is Arrernta, a dialect of the central Australian desert. Many employers require their employees to learn this language, and it is also taught in some central Australia schools, as it is important to communicate with the Arrernte Aborigines in their own language.
