picture info	Pama–Nyungan Languages The Pama–Nyungan languages () are the most widespread language family, family of Australian Aboriginal languages, containing 306 out of 400 Aboriginal languages in Australia. The name "Pama–Nyungan" is a merism: it is derived from the two end-points of the range, the Pama languages of northeast Australia (where the word for 'man' is ) and the Nyungan languages of southwest Australia (where the word for 'man' is ). The other language families indigenous to the continent of Australia are often referred to, by exclusion, as non-Pama–Nyungan languages, though this is not a taxonomic term. The Pama–Nyungan family accounts for most of the geographic spread, most of the Aboriginal population, and the greatest number of languages. Most of the Pama–Nyungan languages are spoken by small ethnic groups of hundreds of speakers or fewer. Many languages have become extinct, and almost all remaining ones are endangered in some way. Only in the central inland portions of the continent ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Paman Languages The Paman languages are an Australian language family spoken on Cape York Peninsula, Queensland. First noted by Kenneth Hale, Paman is noteworthy for the profound phonological changes which have affected some of its descendants.

Dixon, though he does not accept that these branches are necessarily related to each other.See Dixon (2002), pp. xxx–xlii.

	Maric Languages Maran or Maric is an extinct branch of the Pama–Nyungan languages, Pama–Nyungan family of Australian languages formerly spoken throughout much of Queensland by many of the Murri peoples. The well attested Maric languages are clearly related; however, many languages of the area became extinct before much could be documented of them, and their classification is uncertain. The clear Maric languages are: Maric Bidyara language, Bidyara (numerous varieties) Biri language, Biri (several varieties) Warrungu language, Warrungu (& Gugu-Badhun, Gudjal) (Kingkel languages, Kingkel?): Darumbal language, Darumbal Dharumbal was added by Bowern (2011); it had been classified in the Kingkel branch of Waka–Kabic languages, Waka–Kabic.

picture info	Lower Burdekin Languages The Lower Burdekin languages were probably three distinct Aboriginal languages, or alternatively dialects of a single language, spoken around the mouth of the Burdekin River in north Queensland. One short wordlist in each was collected in the 19th century, and published in the second volume of '' The Australian Race'' in 1886. These languages have since gone extinct, with no more having been recorded. Due to the paucity of the available data, almost nothing of their grammatical structure is known. The O'Connor language goes by the name Yuru, and may have been Dyirbalic; others may have been Maric. However, Breen analysed two of the lists and concluded that they were different languages, neither Maric. He presumes that one of them was Bindal Bindal may refer to: People Bindal people, an Indigenous Australian people of the state of North Queensland Rajeev Bindal, a former minister of health and family welfare in Himachal Pradesh, India Rajesh Bindal, an Indian judge Pla ...
