What does this refer to??
Inspired by the commemoration of One Thousand years of the Spanish Language
Was there anyone in Australia 1,000 years ago besides aborigines and kangaroos? 
Certainly no Spaniards??

Vulgar Latin was more widely spoken in parts of Spain before the creation of distinct Spanish languages, such as Castilian which began to form around the 13th century. - RAWRKAL, Nov 19, 2011
P.S. 'Spaniards' is no more a proper noun than 'aborigines' and I believe that there were many other beings in Australia than kangaroos and human beings. - RAWRKAL, Nov 19, 2011
In English we capitalize nationalities: a Canadian, an Englishman, an Italian.... a Spaniard - 0074b507, Nov 19, 2011
Sorry, it was meant as a joke, but I was curious as what the 1000 yrs. referred to. Thank you for your answer. - 0074b507, Nov 19, 2011
The point that I was making is that Aborigines should be capitalised, in English, as it is a proper adjective. - RAWRKAL, Nov 19, 2011
