Maningrida, also known as Burarran, is a small family of Australian Aboriginal languages spoken in northern Australia. It includes four languages, none closely related:
Green established the family by reconstructing the tense–aspect–mood inflections of Proto-Maningrida, and demonstrated common developments that set them apart from other Arnhem languages.
Capell (1942) lists the following basic vocabulary items for the Maningrida languages.[1] Gunavidji and Bunarra are from Capell (1940).[2]
