Karnic languages

Australian Language Families

The Karnic languages are a group of languages of the Pama-Nyungan family. According to Dixon (2002), these are three separate families, but Bowern (2001) establishes regular paradigmatic connections among many of the languages, demonstrating them as a genealogical group.
