Abstract While Australian languages vary considerably, it has long been assumed that most are genetically related within what has come to be known as the Australian phylum, and since Dixon (1980) this certainly seems to be true of at least those spoken on the Australian mainland. For some of the off-shore languages of Australia this is less certain, and thus it should not be surprising that there has been even less convincing evidence of a relationship with languages outside Australia. This paper thus starts with a brief overview with what is believed about the relationships of languages within Australia before considering proposals for more distant relationships.
Keywords Australian Indigenous languages
comparative linguistics
long-distance relationships
