Anaiwan (Anēwan) is anAustralian Aboriginal language ofNew South Wales. Since 2017, there has been a revival program underway to bring the language back.
Once included in theKuric languages, Bowern (2011) classifies Nganyaywana as a separateAnēwan (Anaiwan) branch of the Pama–Nyungan languages.[2]
Besides Nganyaywana, Anewan may includeEnneewin, with which shares about 65% of its vocabulary. Crowley (1976) counts these as distinct languages, whereas Wafer and Lissarrague (2008) consider them to be dialects.[3]
