Wiradhuric languages

The Wiradhuric languages or Central (Inland) New South Wales, are a family of Pama–Nyungan languages of Australia. There are three languages:
- Wiradhuric
- Gamilaraay (northeast)
- Template:Tree list/branching
All are now moribund.
Wiradhuri and Ngiyambaa appear to be more closely related to each other than to Gamilaraay, as they show some common features that Gamilaraay lacks. The languages are close enough to be accepted as related in the conservative classification of Dixon (2002). Bowern (2011) lists the Yuwaaliyaay and Yuwaalaraay varieties of Gamilaraay as separate languages.[1] Bigambal may have been another, if it was not one of the Banjalung languages. The Gujambal language has been listed as Wiradhuric, but is practically undocumented.
