A
Member
for

Thank
you
honourable
speaker.
I'm
joining
you
today
from
the
traditional
territory
of
the
puntlets
speaking
people
a
territory
defined
by
a
language
that
has
not
been
spoken
fluently
since
the
passing
of
chief
joe
nimnim
in
1940,
but
I
bring
to
this
house
for
the
first
time
ever.
A
puntlet's
phrase:
sahuyam
franz
boss
in
1886
spent
three
weeks
with
these
people
and
recorded
their
vocabulary
and
their
stories,
but
their
language
has
been
sleeping
for
the
last
80
years.
