Maningrida languages
Maningrida, also known as Burarran, is a small family of Australian Aboriginal languages spoken in northern Australia. It includes four languages, none closely related:
| Maningrida | |
|---|---|
| Burarran | |
| Geographic distribution | Northern Territory |
| Linguistic classification | Macro-Gunwinyguan?
|
| Subdivisions | |
| Glottolog | mani1293 (Maningrida)[1] |
 Maningrida languages (purple), among other non-Pama-Nyungan languages (grey) | |
Green established the family by reconstructing the tense–aspect–mood inflections of Proto-Maningrida, and demonstrated common developments that set them apart from other Arnhem languages.[2][3]
