Yandruwandha is a Pama-Nyungan language of the Karna group within the Karnic branch, traditionally spoken in far western Queensland around the Diamantina Shire and extending into South Australia near Innamincka. Documented dialects included Yandruwanhdha, Yawarrawarrka, Nhirrpi, Parlpa-Mardramardra and Matja, with Yawarrawarrka treated by some linguists as a dialect and by others as a closely related separate language. The language is extinct, recorded by AIATSIS as extinct since around 1973, and linguist Gavan Breen published a comprehensive grammar of its Innamincka dialect in 2015.
