Introduction

The Australian languages comprise several language families and isolates native to Australia and a few nearby islands, but by convention excluding Tasmania. The relationships between these languages are not clear at present, although substantial progress has been made in recent decades. The biggest of the families, in number of languages, is the Pama-Nyungan family.
