The Ngurlun languages, also called Eastern Mirndi, are a branch of the Mirndi family of non-Pama-Nyungan Australian Aboriginal languages, spoken in the Barkly Tableland region of Australia's Northern Territory. The branch comprises two to four languages depending on classification, Ngarnka and Wambaya, often with Binbinka and Gurdanji; earlier scholarship grouped Ngurlun with the separate Jingulu language as Barkly, but modern research treats that connection as areal contact rather than shared descent.
