Classification


Jawi is a Non-Pama–Nyungan language of the Nyulnyulan family, most closely related to Bardi.[5] Bowern discusses how Jawi and Bardi may have converged within the last hundred years.[6] Jawi people were hit hard by influenza[7] in the early years of the 20th century. Their traditional lands are Sunday Island and the islands of the Buccaneer Archipelago to the northeast.
