Eastern Arrernte refers to Arrernte people, Indigenous Australians, who traditionally live in the Arrernte lands East of Alice Springs, including Wallace Rock Hole. It also refers to a dialect of the Arrernte language that is spoken in this area. Some people argue that Eastern Arrernte is an entirely different language and group of people to Western Arrernte and Central Arrernte and there is much debate on this topic amongst Arrernte people especially.
Famous quotes containing the word eastern:
“The more important the title, the more self-important the person, the greater the amount of time spent on the Eastern shuttle, the more suspicious the man and the less vitality in the organization.”
