Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides an in-depth examination of the languages of the Indigenous Tasmanian people, offering insights into their grammatical structures, vocabulary, and cultural significance. The author, a renowned linguist, meticulously compiles a lexicon of over 1500 words, gleaned from historical records, traveler accounts, and the last remaining speakers of these languages. By comparing these lexicons with other Aboriginal dialects and Malayo-Polynesian languages, the book uncovers potential linguistic connections and offers a glimpse into the rich linguistic diversity of pre-colonial Australia. The author's thorough analysis extends to the etymology of words, revealing connections to such concepts as astronomy, geography, and social organization. Through this exploration, the book sheds light on the linguistic complexity and cultural heritage of the Tasmanian people, inviting readers to appreciate the profound richness of their languages and the enduring legacy they represent.
