Warriyangka language

Australian Language Families

Warriyangka, also spelled Wadiwangga, is a Pama-Nyungan language of the Mantharta branch of the Kanyara-Mantharta group, traditionally spoken in the southern Pilbara region of Western Australia, and was spoken until approximately 1973. It is one of four mutually intelligible varieties that make up the Mantharta dialect cluster, alongside Tharrgari, Thiin and Jiwarli, distinguishing the group from the neighboring Ngayarda languages of the same wider Pama-Nyungan family.
