#2Looks like this is quite old...they will probably find even more introgression. Something like 80% of Australian languages are from Indian-derived language families and developed from around the time of the Dingo introduction (only 4000 years ago), so there basically had to be a substantial amount of gene flow as well. Only a minority of the aboriginal languages come from an earlier substrate. It would be surprising if there doesn't also emerge evidence of substantial conflicts around this time.

#3The article has no information beyond "Indian". Which part of India? Which clan?

Have you got a source for that?

Source? Australia has been continuously populated by Aboriginal people for 60,000+ years, with over 260 languages I find that claim incredibly hard to believe.

They named Australia "Kumari Kandam"

Especially only 4,000 years ago. I’m under the impression that the culture is much much older than that. Why would it change so quickly? Especially for a people’s that are quite traditional. At least as I understand it.
I also understand that the native languages are mostly spoken and not written, are these Indian languages written?
