Aboriginal cultures of Western Australia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The eastern border of Western Australia was not decided upon with any regards to the cultural or language groups which it cut through.[1]: 2 Instead, it was intended to run along the 129th meridian east.[1]: 6 This means that many of the linguistic and cultural groupings of Aboriginal peoples found in WA are not limited by it.
With 191 languages being documented within its borders,[2] over an area that would make it the tenth largest country in the world (2,523,924 square kilometres (974,493 sq mi)),[3][note 1] it has historically held a diverse range of traditional Australian Aboriginal cultures.
