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. Bowern classifies them as follows: *Arabana (Wangganguru) (Western Karnic; orig. part of Palku) *(node) * *Palku (Northern Karnic): Pitta Pitta, Wangka-Yutjurru (Wanggamala) * *(node) * * *Karna (Central Karnic) * * * *Yandruwandha (Yawarawarga) * * * *Mithaka (in the north); Diyari, Yarluyandi–Ngamini * * *Ngura (Eastern Karnic): Galali (Wilson River Garlali), Wangkumara–Bundhamara (Punthamara) (Ngandangara/Yarumarra) ==Unclassified languages== Other languages of the area may be Karnic, but are too poorly attested to be secure. Breen (2007) writes of "Karna–Mari fringe" languages which are "a discontinuous group of languages, mostly poorly attested, scattered between Karnic and Mari languages but not showing much connection with either or with one another. The only one well attested is also the most remote geographically, Kalkutungu". The possibilities listed but not included in Bowern (2001) due to lack of materials, and included in the list in Bowern (2011),〔Bowern, Claire. 2011. "(How Many Languages Were Spoken in Australia? )", ''Anggarrgoon: Australian languages on the web'', December 23, 2011 ((corrected ) February 6, 2012)〕 are Birria (Pirriya/Bidia) (the Biri/Birria in Maric ), Pirlatapa, Kungkari (and unconfirmed Kungatutyi/Gungadidji, not the same as the Mari dialect), Karuwali (and unconfirmed Kulumali) (under Midhaga in Dixon ). Unconfirmed names mentioned in Bowern (2011) are Karangura, Mayawali, and Nhirrpi. See also Ngura; some varieties are Karnic, but others may be Maric. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Karnic languages」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
