 Lower Murray languages (green) among other Pama–Nyungan (tan) | |
The Lower Murray languages form a branch of the Pama–Nyungan family. They are:1
- Lower Murray
- Ngarinyeri (Yaralde, Yaraldi, Ngarrindjeri, Ramindjeri)
- Ngayawung (Ngayawang) †
- Yuyu (Ngintait, Ngarkat) †
- Keramin †
- Yitha-Yitha moribund
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.
