General Language Information:
Barkly English is a form of ‘Aboriginal English’ spoken south of the Barkly highway in the Northern Territory, Australia.
Genesis 21:5-7: Abraham was 100 years old when Isaac was born. Sarah said, “God has given me a chance to laugh now, and everyone who hears my story will laugh and be happy with me.” Then she said, “We are so old that no one thought that Abraham and I could ever have a baby. But now we have a son.”
