.......no offense Nick, but your thread seems to give answers, but the question is missing.

Total nut-job!

It's known that about 300 Indonesian words are used in north Australia from visits by Macassan fishermen. There seem to be many examples of these words in SE Australia.
So the question would be : do you agree?
At Melbourne the tribal headmen and songmakers are ngurungaeta. This cheapo forum don't do web-quotes or Sanskrit text but Javanese negarane gita means country's song and Hindi nagara gita is temple-city song.
The boat which arrived at Yamba NSW came from Ngareenbil: overseas islands, and meaning your beloved countryman in Old Balinese language.
Negara was the Hindu government in Bali and across Australia , ngurra means the Law , elders' campsite or to hear and learn.

Ah Nick, your thread is about entymology. Given that, your premise may hold water for the Aboriginal language, but English is a West Germanic language that originated from Anglo-Frisian dialects so the Yanks don't come into it.

Dear all,

After reading the above I am now absolutely convinced that all you people on the Forum who have only had a vocational education (at the best!) actually wish you had been archaeologists, anthropologists, historians, or sociologists. I sympathise with your position because those are the things I really wanted to pursue ever since I was a child, instead of being something ordinary like an engineer, lawyer, architect, etc.

Either that or you only want to be a member of the LNP coalition government so that you can get your hands on one of those free fake $40K Rolexes.

Mr High Opinion of Himself..........you really are insecure............scurrying around the edges, proposing to arbitrate on others intellect.......at least professional clowns make you laugh with joy and not derision.
