Bunuban languages

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bunuban languages are a small family of Australian Aboriginal languages spoken in northern Australia. The family consists of two languages, Bunuba and Gooniyandi, which are related to each other to about the same degree that English is related to Dutch. Both have about 100 speakers, and are endangered.
