The Kartu languages is a group of Indigenous Australian languages spoken in the Murchison and Gascoyne regions of Western Australia. They are thought to be closely related and to form a low-level genealogical group. The languages usually considered to be members of the Kartu group are, from north to south: * Yinggarda * Malgana *? Nhanda * Wajarri * Badimaya The inclusion of Nhanda is dubious. It was excluded in Bowern & Koch (2004),〔Bowern & Koch (2004) ''Australian Languages: Classification and the Comparative Method''〕 but retained in Bowern (2011).〔Bowern, Claire. 2011. ''(How Many Languages Were Spoken in Australia? )''〕 The name ''kartu'' comes from the word for 'man' in one of the languages. In some earlier work the word was spelled 'kardu'. The Kartu languages form a branch of the Pama–Nyungan family.〔 ==References== 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「Kartu languages」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
