A4 Kalaamaya,
A1 Nyaki Nyaki |
Kalaamaya, also spelled Karlamay, is a Pama–Nyungan language of Western Australia. It is poorly attested, but appears to be a close relative of Noongar language. [3]
A variety called Nyaki Nyaki ( Njakinjaki) has been variously said to be a dialect of Nyungar or of Kalaamaya. [4] Natingero has also been listed as a dialect, but it is only 40% lexically similar.
As of 2015 [update], a single fluent speaker, Kaprun elder Brian Champion who learned the language as an adult, and several partial speakers remain. [5]
