Maningrida, also known asBurarran, is a small family ofAustralian Aboriginal languages spoken in northern Australia. It includes four languages, none closely related:
Green established the family by reconstructing thetense–aspect–mood inflections of Proto-Maningrida, and demonstrated common developments that set them apart from otherArnhem languages.[1][2]
Capell (1942) lists the following basic vocabulary items for the Maningrida languages.[3]Gunavidji andBunarra are from Capell (1940).[4]
