aboriginal + noun (people / land / culture / rights / art / language)
用法筆記
In modern contexts, 'indigenous' is often preferred over 'aboriginal' when describing the original peoples of a region, because 'aboriginal' can carry colonial-era overtones. 'Native' is also common but broader — it can refer to anyone born in a particular place (e.g. 'a native of Taipei'). 'Aboriginal' with a capital A (Aboriginal) almost always refers specifically to the indigenous peoples of Australia. This adjective is typically used before a noun (attributive position); it does not take comparative forms ('more aboriginal').
