Durubalic languages (green) among other Pama–Nyungan (tan)

Bowern (2011) lists five Durubalic languages:

  • Turrubal (Turubul) and Yagara (Jagara)
  • Jandai (Janday)[3]
  • Nunukul (Nunungal, Moonjan)
  • Gowar (Guwar)

Dixon (2002) considers all but Guwar to be different dialects of the Yagara language.[4] Tony Jefferies (2011) links Gowar to the Bandjalangic languages rather than to Durubalic.

Pimpama seems to be related to Gowar, whether they are in turn related Durubalic or to the Bandjalangic languages.

gollark: It's quite condescending.
gollark: I suppose you could probably say something about how the economy was better when stuff was differentiated and stuff was made by individual craftsmen but that's stupid and would make no sense for silicon stuff.
gollark: You're also ferra.
gollark: I'm not sure about real estate, it's not like you can trivially swap 1km² of land somewhere for 1km² elsewhere.
gollark: I'm *guessing* your complaint is along the lines of "people need water → no trading of it allowed → commoditisation involves that" but I can only really guess.
