Northeast Pama-Nyungan languages

Northeast Pama-Nyungan, or Pama-Maric, is a hypothetical family consisting of the neighboring Paman, Maric, Dyirbalic, Yidinyic, and Yalanjic branches of the Pama-Nyungan family of Australian languages.

• Paman

    • Umpila (Kantyu dialect)
    • Wik: Wik-Ngathan, Wik-Me'nh, Wik-Mungkan, Kugu-Uwanh (Wik-Muminh), Pakanha, Ayabadhu
  • Umbindhamu [an isolate per Dixon]
  • Lamalamic: Umbuygamu, Lama-Lama [accepted by Dixon]
  • Mbariman: Mbariman-Gudhinma, Gugu Warra

The Mayabic languages were traditionally classified as Paman, but are excluded from Northeast Pama-Nyungan. Ngura was once lumped in with the Karnic branch of Pama-Nyungan. There is not enough data to classify it any confidence, and it may be Maric.
