Tiwi is the original language. The Tiwi people by and large do not speak the complex language that they possessed before European settlement but speak a mixture of English and 'modern Tiwi' which is a grammatically simplified form of the language considerably influenced by English 'load words' and sentence structure. There are estimated to still be over 200 Tiwi who speak a form similar to the old language, but these are generally older folk. There are about 2000 who speak a modern form of the language.
Charles William Merton Hart (1905-1976)
The Tutini funeral poles for the Pukamani ceremony (Tiwi Islands) were to please the gods of the Aboriginal people.
