✒️📔This week, let's talk about Australia! Australia is home to around 300 indigenous languages, with only one of them being classified as 'Papuan'. Most of these languages are unfortunately concerningly endangered, moribund, or extinct #vtuber#envtuber#vtubersupportbeam

Out of the 300 or so indigenous languages of Australia, only one is classified as 'Papuan'. That language is called Meriam Mir, spoken in the Torres Strait Islands of QLD, Australia, with only around 200 native speakers today
