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 Kulinic and may be Drual, but is too poorly attested to be certain. 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.
