Lower Murray languages

Linguistic classification:
  
Pama–Nyungan Southeastern Victorian Lower Murray

Subdivisions:
  
Yaralde Ngayawung Yuyu Keramin Yitha-Yitha

The Lower Murray languages form a branch of the Pama–Nyungan family. They are:

  • Yaralde (Yaraldi, Ngarrindjeri, Ramindjeri)
  • Ngayawung (Ngayawang)
  • Yuyu (Ngintait, Ngarkat)
  • Keramin
  • Yitha-Yitha

    • Dixon treats these as isolates, either because they are not close or are too poorly attested to demonstrate they are close. Bowern (2011) adds Peramangk.
