Minkin

Australian Language Families

Minkin, also known as Mingginda, is an extinct Australian Aboriginal language, perhaps a language isolate, once spoken by the Mingin people around Burketown on the southern coast of the Gulf of Carpentaria in northern Australia. Its classification is uncertain due to a lack of data, though it has been argued to be a distant member of the Tangkic family, a conclusion accepted in later scholarship.
