Dyirbal (pronounced like “gerbil“) is an eccentric language from Australia. Robert Dixon documented its marvelous features in a book that still captivates grammar nerds and syntacticians. However, when linguists came back to study it just decades later, they encountered a language with very different features.
Take a look at some of Dyirbal’s traits and its changes. Then meet Swadesh, who thought he could explain language change using word lists and math. Learn the basics of the method and consider what it says about language change, notably the claim that all languages change at the same pace.
This is only half the story. Next time, we’ll return to Australia and explore the complexities of language change by asking, “How long before a language becomes unrecognizable?“
