The Yura or Thura-Yura languages are a group of Australian Aboriginal languages surrounding Spencer Gulf and Gulf St Vincent in South Australia, that comprise a genetic language family of the Pama–Nyungan family. The name ''Yura'' comes from the word for "person" in the northern languages; this is a lenited form of the ''thura'' found in other languages, hence ''Thura-Yura''. Similar words for "person" are found in languages outside the group, however. The following classification is proposed by Bowern & Koch (2004):〔Bowern & Koch (2004) ''Australian Languages: Classification and the Comparative Method''〕 *Nangga: Wirangu, Nauo *Core Thura-Yura * *Yura (northern): Adnyamathanha–Kuyani, Barngarla * *Kadli (southern): Narangga, Kaurna, * *(unclassified) Nukunu, Ngadjuri A Nukunu speaker reported that the Nukunu could understand Barngarla and Kuyani, but not more distant varieties.〔 Dixon (2002) lists a ''Nantuwara'' language, but there is no data for it. ==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「Thura-Yura languages」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
