However, koine varieties, arising under similar social conditions to creoles, have seldom been described, much less identified as koines. Siegel (1988: 14) speculates about the koineization of Aboriginal languages. © 1993, Walter de GruyterenAn Australian koine: Dhuwaya, a variety of Yolŋu Matha spoken at Yirrkala in North East ArnhemlandAn Australian koine: Dhuwaya, a variety of Yolngu Matha spoken at Yirrkala in North East ArnhemlandJournal article00300012842009031015090310.1515/ijsl.1993.99.452-s2.0-3424881587365290Amery, R.
