This is the third volume in a series about languages of the world and is available in hard copy and online.

The Languages and Linguistics of Australia: A Comprehensive Guide is part of the multi-volume reference work on the languages and linguistics of the continents of the world. The volume provides a thorough overview of Australian languages, including their linguistic structures, their genetic relationships, and issues of language maintenance and revitalisation.
Australian English, Aboriginal English and other contact varieties are also discussed.
