Thaagurda language


Thaagurda (sometimes written Daguda) is an Australian Aboriginal language. It is a member of the Kartu subgroup of the Pama–Nyungan family. According to Marmion (1996) the language has no speakers or individuals who identify with this group as their ethnicity, and there were only a few elderly people who recalled the name and some sentences from the language. This information was however sufficient to indicate that Thaagurda was likely a distinct language from its neighbours Nhanda, Malgana and Wajarri.

gollark: `tostring` works fine for bool to string conversion.
gollark: Many higher-level languages don't specify stuff like that, making them at least abstractly Turing-complete, but assembly/machine code languages *do*.
gollark: Okay.
gollark: This isn't a paradox. It can't simulate arbitrarily large CGoL grids.
gollark: Nope! Many languages, abstractly speaking, *don't* have limited memory. Their implementations might, though.
