Nganyaywana is an extinct Australian Aboriginal language of New South Wales.
Classification
Once included in the Kuric languages, Bowern (2011) classifies Nganyaywana as a separate Anewan (Anaiwan) branch of the Pama–Nyungan languages.[3]
Dialects
Besides Nganyaywana, Anewan may include Enneewin, 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.[4]
