[CommerceComet]

Australian, not to be confused with Austrian.

I wondered if the committee assumed it was Aborigine. Or they misread it as Austrian and assumed there was a separate Austrian language. Most likely, the committee didn't read the application very carefully.

[Verginius Rufus]

If the committee knew enough about Australia to know about the Aborigines. Of course there were many different languages spoken by the Aborigines.

Perhaps they had heard about the Aborigines from watching "Monty Python."
