 Lower Murray languages (green) among other Pama–Nyungan (tan) | |
The Lower Murray languages form a branch of the Pama–Nyungan family. They are:[2]
- Ngarinyeri (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.
