Yotayotic languages (green) among other Pama–Nyungan (tan)

The Yotayotic languages are a pair of languages of the Pama–Nyungan family, Yotayota and Yabula-Yabula.[1] Dixon (2002) classified them as two separate families, but per Bowe & Morey (1999)[2] Glottolog considers them to be dialects of a single language.
