Um... if it's a language isolate, surely it can't be part of the Pama-Nyungan language family? thefamouseccles 00:43, 10 Nov 2005 (UTC)

The term isolate can be used to describe a language that is thought to be part of a family, but can't be definitely linked to any specific branch of the family—or forms a branch of its own, where it is the only (surviving) member. --Ptcamn 15:56, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

But we can no doubt agree this terminology is somewhat confusing? Caesarion 15:58, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

i'd have to say its not confusing in the context. It clearly says "an isolate within the family". That explains what it means pretty clearly. --Krsont 22:09, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
