The Worrorran (Wororan) languages are a small family of Australian Aboriginal languages spoken in northern Australia. The Worrorran languages fall into three dialect clusters: *(Northern) Wunambal *(Eastern) Ungarinyin (Ngarinyin) *(Western) Worrorra ==Validity== There has been debate over whether the Worroorran languages are demonstrably related to one another, or constitute a geographical language group. Dixon (2002) considers them to be language isolates with no demonstrable relationship other than that of a ''Sprachbund''. However, more recent literature differs from Dixon: * Rumsey and McGregor (2009) demonstrate the cohesiveness of the family and its reconstructibility, and; * Bowern (2011) accepts the Worroorran languages as a family.〔Bowern, Claire. 2011.
