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.
