Nyungic languages

The Nyungic languages are the south-westernmost of the Australian Aboriginal languages:


 * Nyungic
 * Noongar language
 * Galaagu language (Kalarko, Malpa)
 * Kalaamaya–Natingero

Galaagu and Kalaamaya/Natingero are poorly attested; it is not clear how close they are to each other or to Noongar, and Kalaamaya may have been a variety of Noongar proper. A variety called Njakinjaki (Nyaki Nyaki) has been variously said to be a dialect of Noongar or of Kalaamaya.

The term Nyungic has been used for the bulk of the Southwest Pama–Nyungan languages (see). However, that is a geographical group, not a demonstrable family. Bowern restricts both terms to Noongar plus Galaagu, which is poorly attested and had been misclassified as one of the Mirning languages.
