The Central New South Wales languages (Central NSW) are a geographic grouping of Australian Aboriginal languages within the traditional Pama-Nyungan family, partially overlapping the Kuri subgroup of the Yuin-Kuric languages. Dixon (2002), who does not accept the Pama-Nyungan or Yuin-Kuric families, considers each of the three branches of Central NSW to be valid families. (Two are isolates.)
The three families are:
- Wiradhuric (Wiradhuri, Ngiyambaa, Gamilaraay)
- Dyangadi (Dyangadi, Nganyaywana)
- Worimi (Worimi, Awabakal)
