Foxy,

Cultures blossom and then die all the time whether the language continues or not. English culture today bears no resemblance to that experienced by Chaucer. Roman culture was particularly brutal and bears no resemblance to Italian culture today. The same goes for Greek, Persian etc. At best the literature gives a snapshot of culture at the time and Latin, Sanskrit etc texts are like fossils of a cultural past pointing to evolution as do prehistoric fossils of animals from a bygone epoch

There are about 500 different Aboriginal peoples in
Australia each with their own language and territory
and usually made up of a large number of separate clans.
The study of their history and survival is interesting.

shadowminister,

Thank you for asking - "Interesting for whom?"

There's curators, educators, teachers, students,
researchers, archaeologists, historians, and
anyone interested in Indigenous cultural knowledge.

There's a wealth of information to be found in
libraries and museums that can be accessed.
Museums hold collections of scientific specimens
and cultural objects that may amaze you.
