Map Description:
The largest language family in Australia is Pama-Nyungan. Most non-Pama-Nyungan languages are located in the north-western portion of the country, closest to Papua New Guinea. Despite their proximity to Papua New Guinea, these languages are a part of the Australian language family, not the Austronesian language family. The non-Pama-Nyungan languages depicted on this map are divided into subgroups, and the map is designed to be layered with the 'Australia: Time of Contact' Pama-Nyungan map, for a complete depiction of the languages spoken in Australia at the time of contact.
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.
