Kulinic languages


The Kulinic languages form a branch of the Pama–Nyungan family in Victoria. They are:
  • Kulin
  • Kolakngat
  • Drual
Warrnambool is Kulinic and may be Drual, but is too poorly attested to be certain. Glottolog now classes both Warrnambool and those languages sometimes classed as Drual in a family, calling it "Warrnambool-Bunganditj", and Kolakngat as in the Kulin family. Gadubanud was a dialect of either Warrnambool or Kolakngat. 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.
