Subgroup polygons for Pama-Nyungan, family polygons for Australian language families, language polygons, and centroid coordinates. List of languages with subgroup information, glottocodes, ISO-639 codes, AIATSIS codes, and chirila holdings. Funded by NSF grants BCS-0844551 and BCS-1423711. Boundaries are approximate and the maps are not suitable for use as evidence in Native Title claims. This work is part of the Chirila project (pamanyungan.net).
