North Cape York Paman languages (green) among other Pama–Nyungan (tan)

The North Cape York Paman languages are a subdivision of the Paman languages consisting of forty languages, all spoken on the Cape York Peninsula of Queensland, Australia. The languages are grouped largely according to R. M. W. Dixon.[1] The only extant branches of this family are Umpila and the Wik languages. The now-extinct Northern Paman branch was unique among Pama-Nyungan languages in containing fricatives.

Sutton (2001) also distinguishes a Ndwa'ngith language among Northern Paman.
