Central New South Wales languages

Central New South Wales
Geographic distribution	New South Wales
Linguistic classification	Pama–Nyungan? Central New South Wales
Subdivisions	Wiradhuric Dyangadi Worimi Muruwarri Barranbinja

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 languages are:

• Wiradhuric (Wiradhuri, Ngiyambaa, Gamilaraay)
• Dyangadi (Dyangadi, Nganyaywana)
• Worimi (Worimi, Awabakal)
• Muruwarri
• Barranbinja
