Mawng, also spelled Maung, is an Iwaidjan language spoken by the Warruwi people of Goulburn Island in Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, Australia, with about 360 native speakers recorded in the 2021 census. UNESCO classifies it as vulnerable, but children are still acquiring it as a first language, and it is taught in local schools alongside English and the related languages Iwaidja and Kunwinjku; a dictionary, grammar and portions of the Bible have been produced for it.
