[edit]Are there any guesses about what Aboriginal language family they might be related to or are they treated as a language isolate? I don't see them listed on the Aboriginal Languages page. Eluchil404 20:33, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
- The most obvious guess would be Pama-Nyungan, but I don't really know. R.M.W. Dixon treats them as their own small family, but he's against the Pama-Nyungan theory altogether—he treats everything as a small-to-mid family. --Ptcamn 22:12, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit]I know the subject has very little available content. since there are only short list of known words maybe a portion of those list could be added with translation to english. Also the link is to a general home page, the link should be more direct. Also as it talks about three different languages suggest that a paragraph on each be developed with with source information who, when, where it was collect from whom if known.

- oh and be certain, with such a small article to speculate by saying probably three literally destroys the following information. What its saying is we think this but we dont know so we have a guess, therefore the whole piece is a guess. Gnangarra 13:45, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
