There has been little comparative work on nominal classification in Australia. In this paper the different types of classification in Australian languages are surveyed and then a comparative study is made of the morphological forms utili7ed in classification. Tentative origins for the major noun class affixes are put forward and the conclusion is drawn that Prom-Australian was a language in which a limited set of generic classifiers were used, in which there was a (pronominal) feminine affix for female sex, and in which a distinction between human and nonhuman may have been made in a demonstrative.
