Aborigine Language
I looked up how many current languages the Aborigines speak present day and this is what I found:
"There were 500–600 distinct groups of aborigines speaking about 200 different languages or dialects (at least 50 of which are now extinct)."

I looked at a couple different websites and they all had the same numbers.
