The Small Island Where 500 People Speak Nine Different Languages

"On South Goulburn Island, a small, forested isle off Australia’s
northern coast, a settlement called Warruwi Community consists of some
500 people who speak among themselves around nine different languages.
This is one of the last places in Australia—and probably the world—where
so many indigenous languages exist together."

Very interesting!  Via Nila Jones and Andres Soolo.
