Actually, with the NE Arnhem Land, they use a sort of tongue trill thing
that I am sure most people who grow up speaking a language with an R sound
has no problem with, but that absolutely escapes me. I can fake an R OK now
and then (yes, I do say Richard most of the time :-) ). The Western Arnhem
land, on the other hand, places even more emphasis or the retroflex sound.
That at least I can do with some semblance of proficiency.
