Tharawal, also spelt Thurawal and Dharawal, is a small family of extinct Australian Aboriginal languages once spoken along the South Coast of New South Wales.
According to Bob Dixon (2002), four Tharawal languages are attested, though he does not accept them as related:[1]
Claire Bowern (2011) lists three, among the Yuin languages:[2]
Peoples who spoke these languages include:
Clans and Families of The Northern Dharawal
New South Wales south coast group
