Hi, need to submit a 1500 words paper on the topic The Culture and Lifestyle of Australian Aboriginal. It was in 1962 that Commonwealth legislation gave Aborigines the right to vote in the Commonwealth elections. Then in 1967, laws were to be made to respect the Aboriginal people, and to have them be included when the country goes to determine electoral representation. In 1971, there was a lands right case, in which it was said that there was no concept of native title existing in the Australian law, meaning that the land did not belong to the Aborigines, as it should have. With 2004 came the abolishment of the major Aborigine organization, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission.

The languages of the Aboriginal people of Australia showed no relation to any of the languages outside of Australia. At one point in the 18th century, there were between three hundred and fifty and seven hundred and fifty different groupings, as well as languages and dialects. When the 21st century came around, only two hundred of these languages were still in use, and many of those are in fear of being endangered.

The mainland Aboriginal Australian languages can be split up into two distinct groups: the Pama-Nyungan languages and the non-Pama-Nyungan. The Pama-Nyungan languages cover the majority of Australia, as well as numerous related languages. The non-Pama-Nyungan languages have no relation to the Pama-Nyungan languages, or to any of the other languages that are being used. It is from Western Kimberley to the Gulf of Carpentaria that the latter languages are found.

It has long since been decided that the language of the Aboriginals plays a part in the language of the other inhabitants of Australia. They have many similar qualities, and the phoneme set of the Aboriginal language is said to have a suggestive common origin.

Though it is difficult to obtain information on the religions of the Aboriginal people, it was researched and estimated that nearly 72% practiced some form of Christianity.
