Tense?

The article says stuff like "the language shared 90% of vocabulary with Djab wurrung" and they "were a matrilineal society" (emphasis added)...does that mean the people have all died out or the group has become diluted/mixed into others? If so, that should be expressed in the very beginning of the article. If not (more likely), this stuff should be changed to present tense. —Politizer ^talk/_contribs 10:22, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Have found evidence (this, inter alia) to indicate that the group still exists. ("The area is known to the Jardwadjali peoples...") Will align tenses accordingly. Hassocks5489 (tickets please!) 12:52, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
