Australian Language Families

Yukulta, also spelled Yugulda or Yokula and also known as Ganggalidda, is a critically endangered Tangkic language traditionally spoken on the southern coast of the Gulf of Carpentaria in Queensland and the Northern Territory, Australia, related to the other Tangkic languages Kayardild, Lardil and Yangkaal. It had only one fully fluent speaker as of 2007, though a wider count of 51 to 250 partial speakers was reported for 2018 to 2019; a related dialect, Nguburinji, is now extinct.
