Pama-Nyungan Languages - Australia’s large, mysterious family

This language family (or sprachbund area) is by far the largest in Australia comprising 300+ languages but it is difficult to ascertain whether these are linguistically related or simply appear that way because of the geographic proximity and language context over thousands of years.
CORRECTION: “marrungu” is “man” and “palakarni” is “that-distant” 29:40? on the bottom Ngarla sentence.
In this video I go over some common features the languages share in common and then do a word comparison at the end among a few languages from across the continent and assess their closeness. Whether they are actually “genetically” linguistic connected or simply share areal features is up to the viewer to establish.

ARE THERE ANY PAMA-NYUNGAN LANGUAGES WITH AN X OR Q IN THE ALPHABET?

[@langshack4552]
