Garawan and Tangkic (green). Garawan is the group inland.
The Garawan languages (Garrwan), or Yanyi, are a small language family of Australian Aboriginal languages currently spoken in northern Australia.
The languages are:
Garawan
Garawa (Garrwa, north)
Waanyi (Wanji, south)
Gunindiri † (Kurnindirri, southwest)
Gunindiri is almost entirely unknown.[1]
Garawan may be related to the Pama–Nyungan languages, though this is not accepted in Bowern 2011.[2] The languages are close: Dixon (2002)[citation needed] says that it should be straightforward to reconstruct proto-Garawa–Wanji.
