@Billonaire Riches Yeah except people taking over you doesn't necessarily have to include genocide. Of course people will die in battles and armed confrontations but once one side is victorious it doesn't need to wipe out the other side. Of course cultural genocide and economic loss happens most of the time when a nation conquers another one. But that's preferable in a way than to be completely wiped out. Only place i can think of right now that has conserved their culture perfectly after being colonized is in New Zealand (Maoris) even though they never gained independence. Then you have places like Mexico who lost most of their culture and language and mixed with the colonizers. Or even places like Ireland and Scotland who got the English language and traditions imposed to them. And places like India who conserved their culture but lost millions and millions in terms of economics.

@Billonaire Riches But only western civilizations will try to cheat and sabotage others, instead of competing with them fair and square. Just look are China and the U.S. America is crying foul in everything China does as China is now starting to lead the world in technology and innovations while the US is trying to bring back coal jobs.

@Billonaire Riches Careful with that shit eating attitude... Might bring something unforseen upon yourselves. Guns and firepower aren't the only methods of overpowering. People just need to be inspired. Careful with that inspirational attitude you have there! Nothing more dangerous and completely devastating than an unseen determined enemy...

@PrimaryHades colonisation hasn’t been kind to any ethnic group or culture throughout history, sadly Aboriginals are became victims of this, but that’s superpowers for you I guess, the brits were conquered for many centuries until they eventually rose up to become the biggest and most powerful Empire the world has seen so far, and in their wake left trails of destruction and death, I hope history doesn’t repeat itself but it’s a bit of a stretch to believe it won’t happen again, anyways I hope everyone can get along better moving into the future

@PrimaryHades ,they haven't been kind to themselves.

Yes they very interesting and their simplicity is awesome. Hugs from India also.

You don't know the truth, that's the problem. This is all propaganda. Aboriginal society now is extremely patriarchal, women have less rights than Muslim women. Forced teenage marriages to 40 year old men, murder, rape. Aboriginal men are lazy, habe zero interest in holding a job. 50,000 years being separated from the rest of us really shows.

No, wrong. Many Australians have Irish, German, Greek, Italian, Arab, Chinese or Vietnamese ancenstry. Calling all these people British, when not even their accent sounds British, is just pig ignorant.

@karonic ゝ so your argument for defending colonisation is "they did it too so we did it". one word : childish.

i love this title

There were over 250 languages spoken by Aboriginies before it was colonised, all Aboriginies were nomadic and didn't have civilisation therefore because they were restricted to smaller tribes there was not one official language really that prevailed throughout. I guess this language would have been the most spoken out of all of them though. It's good to keep the languages going though.

One side of a multifaceted story. English was itself suppressed and driven underground by French for hundreds of years, in England. That it survived is because it's so adaptable, a mongrel where everyone has a home if they want. English is fluid and friendly, many dialects, accents, pidgins and creoles. But it didn't have an easy start. You were not even a second class citizen in England when the French took over and imposed their ways upon the land and its language. Olde English was beautiful and we lost many words, phrases and sayings in the transition to a Latin base.

Tapan Sharma yah those ancient tribes of India are very genetically similar to those native to Australia, these people groups were some of the first to leave Africa, it's amazing that some still live on today , yet sadly these indigenous populations are growing smaller.

Genetically they’re similar to adivasis.

The sounds in their language also kinda sounds like ours(Tamil)

I know many North Indians that look similar to him.

Some languages stay the same, Australian Aboriginals were nomadic but generally the continent is empty and dry desert. Very few outside influences besides neighbouring tribes, Papuans and Indonesians travelled to the Eastern coast but the Miriwoong are from the far West of Australia. Odds are a lot of these words are tens of millenia old.
