Kulinic languages (green) among other Pama–Nyungan (tan). Along the coast, the three groups are (west to east) Drual, Kolakngat, Kulin. | |
The Kulinic languages form a branch of the Pama–Nyungan family. They are:
- Kulin (3+, e.g. Woiwurrung)
- Kolakngat
- Drual (2)
Warrnambool is Kulinic[2] and may be Drual, but is too poorly attested to be certain.[3] Gadubanud was a dialect of either Warrnambool or Kolakngat.[4] Several poorly attested interior Kulinic languages, such as Wemba-Wemba, are listed in the Kulin article.
The three branches of Kulinic are not close; Dixon treats them as three separate families.
