The Southwestern Paman languages are a family of the Paman languages spoken on the western part of the Cape York Peninsula of Queensland, Australia.
Alpher (1972) accepts Southwestern Pama as a valid node; the classification below is his.[2] R. M. W. Dixon, on the other hand, only accepts a connections between pairs of languages: Yir, as two dialects of a single language, and Koko Bera with Kok Thawa.[3]
- Upper Southwest Pama
- Kuuk Thaayorre
- Kuuk Yak
- Kunjen (Oykangand) / Ogh-Undjan (Kawarrangg)
- Coastal Southwest Pama
- Yir-Yoront (Yirrk-Thangalkl)
- Koko Pera: Koko-Bera, Kok Thawa
Bowern (2011) also lists the extinct Kokiny and Kok-Papángk.
