Maningrida, also known as Burarran, is a small family of four Australian Aboriginal languages spoken in northern Australia's Northern Territory: Guragone, Burarra, Ndjebbana and Nakkara, none of them closely related to one another. It is tentatively placed within a proposed wider Macro-Gunwinyguan grouping.
