Following Sandra's post, many of us are quite tired of hearing people say things like "XXXX is the Aboriginal word for YYYY", given that there were at least 500 different Aboriginal language groups in Australia and that at least 250 are still extant.
It's a bit like saying "Table is the European word for that thing you sit at to eat your meals." The French and English might be happy with such a statement but the Spanish, Portuguese and Hungarians might feel disregarded. And before anyone posts "Oh, but aren't they just dialects?" most are as different from each other as Swedish is from Greek.
