Excerpt from The Australian Race, Vol. 2 of 4: Its Origin, Languages, Customs, Place of Landing in Australia, and the Routes by Which It Spread Itself Over That ContinentBY A. A. C. LE squef, esq., and the revd. R. W. Holden. Vocabularies of the Parnkalla language, which is Spoken at Port Lincoln and along the western Shores of Spencer's Gulf, have been sent to me by A. A. C. Le Souef, Esq., and the Revd. R. W. Holden. Of this language a dictionary of about words, prefaced by a grammar, was published in Adelaide, 1844, by the Revd. C. W. Shurmann. From these sources I have filled up the following vocabulary. It is to be noticed that in the Revd. Mr. Shurmann's work there is but one word which begins with the letter a, and the sound of eh is entirely wanting, but that my two contributors both give kite/ta as the equivalent of baby. Circumcision prevails in this tribe.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
