The Kulinic languages form a branch of the Pama–Nyungan family in Victoria (Australia). They are:

Kulin (3+, e.g. Woiwurrung) Kolakngat Drual (2)

Warrnambool is KulinicBowern, Claire. 2011. "How Many Languages Were Spoken in Australia?", Anggarrgoon: Australian languages on the web, 23 December 2011 (corrected 6 February 2012) and may be Drual, but is too poorly attested to be certain.Barry Blake (2003) The Bunganditj (Buwandik) language of the Mount Gambier Region, p 17 ff. Glottolog now classes both Warrnambool and those languages sometimes classed as Drual in a family, calling it "Warrnambool-Bunganditj", and Kolakngat as in the Kulin family. Gadubanud was a dialect of either Warrnambool or Kolakngat. Several poorly attested interior Kulinic languages, such as Wemba-Wemba, are listed in the Kulin article.

The three branches of Kulinic are not close; Dixon treats them as three separate families.
