The Central New South Wales languages (Central NSW) are a family of Australian Aboriginal languages within the traditional Pama-Nyungan family. Dixon (2002), who does not accept the Pama-Nyungan family, has not determined whether Central NSW is a valid family or a Sprachbund.[citation needed]
The branches are:
- Wiradhuric (Wiradhuri, Ngiyambaa, Gamilaraay)
- Dyangadi (Dyangadi, Nganyaywana)
- Worimi (Worimi, Awabakal)
