Indigenous Australians are descendants of the first known human inhabitants of the Australian continent and its nearby islands. This includes both the Torres Strait Islanders and the Aboriginal People, who together make up about of Australia's current population. The Aboriginal peoples traditionally inhabited mainland Australia, Tasmania, and some of the other adjacent islands. The Torres Strait Islanders are indigenous to the Torres Strait Islands between Australia and New Guinea. The time of arrival of the first indigenous Australians is a matter of debate among researchers, with estimates ranging from 40,000 years ago to 125,000 years ago. Although distinctive historical and cultural histories have resulted in Indigenous Australian having little in common socially, culturally or linguistically, Indigenous Australians are seen as being broadly related. A collective identity as Indigenous Australians is recognised as encompassing all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander groups. The Australian society is becoming racially mixed. According to the 2001 census, 69% of all unions involving an indigenous Australian are mixed The blanket term "Indigenous Australians" has always encompassed many different communities and societies with unique cultures and in present day Australia these are further divided into local communities. Although there were over 250 spoken languages, fewer than 200 of these remain in use - all but 20 are considered to be endangered. The population of Indigenous Australians prior permanent European settlement has been estimated at between 318,000 and 750,000. The distribution of people was similar to that of the current Australian population, with the majority living in the south east
