Difference between Pama–Nyungan languages and Postalveolar consonant

Pama–Nyungan languages vs. Postalveolar consonant

The Pama–Nyungan languages are the most widespread family of indigenous Australian languages, containing perhaps 300 languages. Postalveolar consonants (sometimes spelled post-alveolar) are consonants articulated with the tongue near or touching the back of the alveolar ridge, farther back in the mouth than the alveolar consonants, which are at the ridge itself but not as far back as the hard palate, the place of articulation for palatal consonants.

Alveolar consonant

Alveolar consonants are articulated with the tongue against or close to the superior alveolar ridge, which is called that because it contains the alveoli (the sockets) of the superior teeth.
