First Nations languages: A tapestry of culture and identity - Il-lingwi tal-Ewwel Nazzjonijiet: Taħlita ta’ kultura u identità

Anyone new to Australia can appreciate how important it is to keep your mother tongue alive. Language is integral to your culture and Australia's Indigenous languages are no different, connecting people to land and ancestral knowledge. They reflect the diversity of Australia’s First Nations peoples. More than 100 First Nations languages are currently spoken across Australia. Some are spoken by only a handful of people, and most are in danger of being lost forever. But many are being revitalised. In today’s episode of Australia Explained we explore the diversity and reawakening of Australia’s First languages. - Kull min hu ġdid fl-Awstralja jista’ japprezza kemm hu importanti li żżomm il-lingwa materna tiegħek ħajja. Il-lingwa hija integrali għall-kultura tiegħek u l-lingwi Indiġeni tal-Awstralja mhumiex differenti, u jgħaqqdu n-nies mal-għarfien tal-art u tal-antenati tagħhom. Dawn jirriflettu d-diversità tal-popli tal-Ewwel Nazzjonijiet ta’ l-Awstralja. Aktar minn 100 lingwa tal-Ewwel Nazzjonijiet bħalissa huma mitkellma mal-Awstralja kollha. Xi wħud huma mitkellma minn ftit nies biss, u ħafna minnhom huma fil-periklu li jintilfu għal dejjem. Imma ħafna qegħdin jerġgħu jieħdu l-ħajja. Illum se naraw d-diversità u l-qawmien mill-ġdid tal-lingwi tal-Ewwel Nazzjonijiet fl-Awstralja.
