The Daly languages are proposed to be the third largest family of Indigenous Australian languages (McConvell & Evans 1997). They are spoken within the vicinity of the Daly River in the Northern Territory. In the lexicostatistic classification of O'Grady, Voegelin and Vogelin (1966), the Daly languages were put in four distinct families. Darrel Tryon (1968, 1974) combined these into a single family, with the exception of Murrinh-patha.

  • The Daly languages are proposed to be the third largest family of Indigenous Australian languages (McConvell & Evans 1997). They are spoken within the vicinity of the Daly River in the Northern Territory. In the lexicostatistic classification of O'Grady, Voegelin and Vogelin (1966), the Daly languages were put in four distinct families. Darrel Tryon (1968, 1974) combined these into a single family, with the exception of Murrinh-patha. However, such methodologies do not account for loan words. Ian Green (unpublished but cited in Dixon 2002) found that the languages could not be shown to be related by the comparative method, and so should be considered independent families and language isolates. The features they do share also tend to be shared with neighboring languages outside the Daly group. Patjtjamalh Kandjerramalh dialect Western Daly (common grammatical forms) Maranunggu (Emmi) Menhthe dialect Marrithiyel Marri Ammu, Marritjevin, Marridan, Marramanindjdji dialects Marri Ngarr Magati-ge dialect Malak-Malak Eastern Dalay (closely related) Matngele Kamu Southern Daly Murrinh-patha (Murinbata) Ngan’gityemerri Southern Daly is uncertain. Murrinh-patha and Ngan’gityemerri closely correspond in their verbal inflections, and have cognates in their words for 'thou' (nhinhi and nyinyi) and 'this' (kanhi and kinyi). However, they share almost nothing else, and it is not clear what could explain this discrepancy.
  • Дейлийские языки (языки дейли; англ. Daly) — гипотетическая семья аборигенных австралийских языков. Распространена вблизи реки Дейли на севере штата Западная Австралия. По лексикостатистической классификации О’Грэди, Фёгелина и Фёгелина (O’Grady, Voegelin and Vogelin, 1966), дальские языки представляют собой 4 отдельных семьи. Даррел Трайон (Darrel Tryon, 1968, 1974), напротив, объединял их в одну семью, за исключением языка муррин-пата. Ян Грин показал, что родство дальских языков не может быть доказано при помощи сравнительного метода. Р. М. У. Диксон (R. M. W. Dixon, 2002) делит дальские языки на 2 или 3 малых семьи (статус южного дали непонятен) и 2 изолята.
