I would like to hear what an Aboriginal (Australian) language sounds like.

Is there a place on the web I can hear someone speaking?

Check this out http://www.tencanoes.com.au/tencanoes/interactions.htm
Go to the 'interactive activities' section where it invites you to be an editor for the film Ten Canoes. All the scenes are in the traditional language of the people from Ramingining about 400 km east of Darwin, NT. The main language spoken there is Djambarrpuyngu but there are 2 more languages there as well so you'd be best to research which one they're actually speaking.

Hi! Try looking for Radio Stations for aboriginals. Real world and internet radio stations are often delivered in the native tongue. There is a community radio station located in Plenty Road, Preston Melbourne Victoria if that is any help.

There are many different aboriginal languages. Most of them are extinct or never used in day to day life.

Try talking to an aboriginal over skype.

See if you can get hold of the movie "Ten Canoes" - it's narrated in English but the film's dialogue is in Aboriginal dialects.
