Map Description:
The largest language family in Australia is Pama-Nyungan. This map depicts Pama-Nyungan languages spoken in Australia at the time of contact, specifically calling attention to the Tangic, Karti, Wati and Yuulungu subgroups. Modern city names and locations are also included on this map, to contextualize the locations of the native languages.

This original map was made by vectorizing data from the MultiTree language database and the Atlas of the World's Languages.

All maps in this folder share data sources, and each maps shows a region in Australia. The regions were defined by using watershed basins (a basin is a drainage area geographically clearly separated from other basins) as a template, and then superimposing all the groups on that base and determining where such factors as culture, language and trade indicated the there were relationships between groups.
