Karnic languages (green) among other Pama–Nyungan (tan). The four solid-green sections are Arabana (west), Palku (north), Karna (central strip), Ngura (east). The striped area to the east is Kungkari and Birria, which may have been Karnic.
The Karnic languages are a group of languages of the Pama–Nyungan family. According to Dixon (2002), these are three separate families, but Bowern (2001) establishes regular paradigmatic connections among many of the languages, demonstrating them as a genealogical group. Bowern classifies them as follows:
Karnic
Arabana (Wangganguru) (Western Karnic; orig. part of Palku)
Palku (Northern Karnic)
Pitta Pitta
Wangka-Yutjurru (Wanggamala)
Karna (Central Karnic)
Yandruwandha (Yawarawarga)
Mithaka (in the north); Diyari, Yarluyandi–Ngamini
Eastern Karnic: Wilson River language (Wangkumara, Bundhamara (Punthamara), Ngandangara/Yarumarra, etc.)
