Auslan, BSL and NZSL originated from the same parent language, a deaf sign language that has been used during the 19th century in Great Britain. It is said that the first deaf person who introduced BSL to Australia was John Carmichael, an engraver who moved to Sydney in 1825 from Edinburgh. [2] The term BANZSL has been coined by Adam C. Schembri and Trevor Johnston and it represents a name for British, Australian and New Zealand Sign Language. When I was reading about sign languages, Auslan, BSL and NZSL were often referred to collectively as BANZSL, but there is to say that these languages are still individuals. Adam C. Schembri worked at a number of institutions as a research assistant, lecturer and sign language interpreter, including the University of Sydney, the Macquarie University and the Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children in Australia.
Many linguists trace the development of Black English back to the time of slavery and the slave trade. Thus, the history of Black English must date back to about 1619 when a Dutch vessel landed in Jamestown with a cargo of twenty Africans. (Smitherman, 5) During the slave trade, ships collected slavesfrom several different nations rather than just trading with one nation. The rationale that justified this action was simple; Africans from different nations spoke different languages and could not communicate with each other, and thus were incapable of uniting to overthrow the ship’s crew. In 1744 slave ship Captain William Smith wrote: "...the safest way to trade is to trade with the different Nations, on either Side the River, and having some of every sort on board, there will be no more Likelihood of their succeeding in a Plot, than of finishing the Tower of Babel," (Stoller, 19).
The changing place of Native Americans The Pequot and Mohegan tribes originated from upper Hudson River Valley. Their migration and settlement in the region could be around 1500 according to Dutch records. The Dutch were some of the earliest traders in the region who dealt in fur and wampum. Their records indicate interactions with people called Sequin along lower sections of Connecticut River. There is a possibility that this could have been another tribe other than the Pequot.
Famine, disease and conflict with local Native American tribes in the first two years brought Jamestown to the brink of failure before the arrival of a new group of settlers and supplies in 1610. Tobacco became Virginia's first profitable export, and a period of peace followed the marriage of colonist John Rolfe to Pocahontas, the daughter of an Algonquian chief. During the 1620s, Jamestown expanded from the area around the original James Fort into a New Town built to the east; it remained the capital of the Virginia colony until 1699. Late in the 19th century, Jamestown became the focus of renewed historical interest and efforts at preservation. In 1893, a portion of the island was donated to Preservation Virginia(formerly known as The Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities) for that purpose.
It emerged in the late twentieth century which is why it is considered to be a ‘young’ dialect. It integrates many elements of Caribbean English as well as other ‘non-native’ influences. Although it is normally associated to Britons of African descent, the dialect is spoken by inner-city Londoners from a variety of ethnic backgrounds. Alongside Caribbean English, other ethnic influences that contribute to the dialect range from West African to Middle Eastern and to South Asia as well. David William (2010) makes the observation that MLE has come from the English that is generally spoken by black, and other non-white immigrants combined with
In 1827, Western Australia was established. Major Edmund Lockyer established a small British settlement at Albany known as King Georges Sound. A short time later in 1829 the new Swan River colony was officially proclaimed and Captain James Stirling was its first governor. The colony was proclaimed as a British penal settlement in 1849

Julio Cruz Week 8 From 1450 to 1640 the “Early Atlantic Age” a new set of regions, the Atlantic coasts of Africa, entered directly into long-distance international trade. It tells us that the chain of developments by which the Europeans gradually shifted from being peripheral actors on the world stage to chief protagonists. During this time, Europeans spread the Commercial Revolution along the western side of Africa and across the Atlantic Ocean. The establishment of Portuguese commercial activities around the coasts of Africa took place over an eighty-year period. In the Western Sudan belt of Africa between 1450 and 1640, the age of empire came to an end, but not before one more great empire, Songay, flourished.
Spanish soldier and explorer Alonso de Ojeda, was reported to one of the first recorded explorers who came to Curacao for purposes of charting the South American coast, and its’ offshore islands. Ojeda came to the island in approximately 1500 AD. Curacao and the close surrounding islands became territories of Spain, and were used for the slave trade business early on, until an alliance was made with the Bishop of Coro, Venezuela, and the local indian chief. While the island stayed under Spanish control, their interest in it did not remain strong as the islands in that area were referred to as the “islas inutiles”, which is translated to mean “unnecessary islands.” It was in 1634 that Dutch West Indian Company, led by Johannes van Walbeeck and Pierre le Grand laid claim to the island of Curacao and took control of it from the Spaniards. The islands only inhabitants at the time were 500 Indians and 32 other Spaniards, of which included a priest and his twelve children.
Since they were getting so much new food, they started cultivating in the New World with plant that’s were hard to grow in the Old World. The new plants were described in detail because if you didn’t use the plants for their proper purpose, then you would get very ill and sometimes die. When they would describe the plants, they would draw a detailed sketch, identify the purpose, and identify the correct way of preparing it. When it came to plants, the Europeans had to be very careful. The discovery of the New World helped advance the knowledge of healthier foods and
