The British communicated with Aboriginal Australians through a combination of gestures, basic language skills, and the use of interpreters. Initially, British settlers often relied on simple sign language and visual aids, as well as their limited understanding of local languages. Over time, some settlers learned Aboriginal languages, which facilitated better communication. However, the communication was often fraught with misunderstandings and cultural differences, leading to significant challenges in interactions.
