Oh, right, {{expandsection}} refers here. So, I repeat:

With a vertical vowel system and all consonants split by labialization, there's bound to be some essential information not captured by the phoneme inventory alone, so explaining allophony would be nice. Also maybe a short explanation on why this analysis is preferred to a normal many-vowel no-labialization system? --Tropylium 10:05, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article says 25% of the residents of Alice speak Arrernte, but contradicts itself by saying there are only 1,500 speakers (since Alice has at least 25,000 residents) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.207.115.37 (talk) 07:13, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That part about "most" workplaces in Alice Springs requiring some form of Arrernte is wrong. I'm from the Alice and I've never heard of anyone needing to know any Aboriginal languages at all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.229.248.247 (talk) 19:30, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
