Warlpiri, an Aboriginal Australian language spoken by about 3,000 people in the Northern Territory, has an extremely complex system for expressing when and how actions happen. Its system of grammatical 'aspect' allows speakers to describe actions with great precision regarding whether they are complete, ongoing, habitual, or about to happen. The language is also notable for having separate verb forms for singular, dual (exactly two), and plural numbers.
