Definition: The word "aborigine" is a term that refers to the prehistoric peoples who inhabited Australia, New Zealand and other parts of the Pacific Islands about 60-120 million years ago. Abo-gee-nai (also called aborgina or aboriginal) means "old people," and its roots are Old English. The word was used as a term for prehistoric peoples before Europeans arrived in Australia, but it is now commonly used to refer to the Aboriginal people of Australia. The definition of the word "aborigine" includes the following elements: - Prehistory: It refers to the long period during which the aboriginal populations lived and developed. - Cultures: The aborigines are divided into two main groups: the Aborigines (also known as the Yolngu) who settled in the Western Desert and the Tjukurraba, or "Coomyul" people who inhabited coastal regions of Australia and New Zealand. - Languages: Many of the languages spoken by the aboriginal peoples are still in use today. Some notable examples include the Yolngu language and the Dharawal language. The word "aborigine" has been used to describe various aspects of prehistoric cultures, including their art, architecture, writing systems, and traditional knowledge. It also reflects a period of time when prehistory was largely unexplored and little is known about these ancient peoples.
