was the name given to the language spoken in number, in the east
of western deserts. In the past anangu was used to refer to a
person or people who were opposed to other non-human form of
life. Over many years this language has come in use to
Europeans, as a term referring to aboriginal people and those
who came from other parts of Australia. Generally this is a
language as well as a word. Some time ago, when a "white"
entered a community the word anangu was used to represent the
acceptance of this being. It has several meanings but one thing
is sure, its origin comes from the aboriginal people living far
before our time in Australia.
