Case1
  • Where case marking sits: suffix, prefix, clitic, tone, stem change.

    AUS extension AUX007

    prefix
Pronoun1
  • Whether interrogatives ('who/what') double as indefinites ('someone/something') — an 'ignorative' series. Partially derivable from WALS Indefinite Pronouns (interrogative-based).

    AUS extension AUX051

    yes
Pronoun-Marking2
  • How pronominal subjects are expressed: obligatory free pronoun, subject affix on the verb, clitic on a variable host (e.g. second position / auxiliary), etc.

    AUS extension AUX010

    subject-affix-on-verb
  • Whether bound pronouns form a clitic cluster on a variable (typically second-position/auxiliary) host rather than being fixed to the verb.

    AUS extension AUX011

    no
Syntax1
  • Dominant order of subject, object and verb (often 'no dominant order' in free-word-order Australian languages).

    AUS extension AUX038

    no-dominant-order

Deep-time position

not dated
Not in the dated phylogeny.Only the ~224 Pama-Nyungan leaves in Bouckaert, Bowern & Atkinson (2018) carry a calibrated age. Many languages — especially the older non-Pama-Nyungan families of the north — are genuine context but have no time-calibrated node, and are never shown as dated.
