Yirram languages

Australian Language Families

The Yirram languages, also called Jaminjungan or Western Mirndi, are a branch of the Mirndi languages spoken around the Victoria River in Australia's Northern Territory, taking their name from a dual clitic, yirram, shared across the family. The branch comprises two languages, Nungali and Jaminjung; a third variety, Ngaliwurru, is usually treated as a dialect of Jaminjung rather than a separate language.
