How many aboriginal languages are spoken in Australia now?

Question

Accepted Answer

Australia is home to a rich linguistic diversity, with a significant number of Aboriginal languages spoken across the country. Prior to European colonization, it is estimated that there were around 250 distinct Indigenous languages spoken in Australia. However, due to various factors including colonization, cultural assimilation, and language loss, many of these languages are now critically endangered or have become extinct.

Currently, there are approximately 120-160 Aboriginal languages still spoken to some extent in Australia. However, the number of fluent speakers varies significantly, with many languages having only a handful of fluent speakers remaining. Efforts are being made to revitalize and preserve these languages through language revitalization programs, educational initiatives, and community-driven language projects.
