Macro-Gunwinyguan languages

Okay kiddo, so let me tell you about something called macro-gunwinyguan languages.

These are a group of languages that are spoken by people who live in Australia. These languages have a lot of similarities and also have a lot of differences.

Think about it like this - you know how you and your friends all speak English, but you might use different words or have different accents? That's kind of like how the macro-gunwinyguan languages are. They are all part of the same family, but they have variations and unique features depending on where they are spoken.

The people who speak these languages have lived in Australia for a very long time, even before it was called Australia! That's pretty cool, right?

So, to sum it up, macro-gunwinyguan languages are a group of related languages spoken in Australia by people who have been there for a really long time. They have similarities and differences, kind of like you and your friends when you speak English.
