Gippsland languages

The Gippsland languages are a family of Pama–Nyungan languages of Australia.

[1] They were spoken in the Gippsland region, the southernmost part of mainland Australia, on the Bass Strait.

There are three rather distant branches; these are often considered single languages, though the dialects of Gaanay are sometimes counted separately: All are now extinct.

The Gippsland languages, especially Gaanay, have phonotactics that are unusual for mainland Australian languages, but characteristic of Tasmanian languages.
