Comments on the classification:<\/h5>\n

Here we follow Evans\u2019 classification( 1997) which groups together Takic and Pama-Nyungan families, together with the Garawa isolate. If each of these \u00ab sub-families \u00bb are, on the whole, consensual, the same cannot be said about their grouping under the “Macro-Pama-Nyungan” label, for it is not fully supported.<\/p>\n

There exists also a tendency to group all the Aboriginal languages of Australia within the same set (as seen on www.ethnologue.com<\/a><\/em>), but this is considered highly speculative, as for now, by the scientific community.<\/p>\n
