Darwin Region languages

The Darwin Region languages are a small family of poorly attested Australian Aboriginal languages of northern Australia proposed by linguist Mark Harvey. It unites the pair of Limilngan languages with two language isolates:


 * Darwin Region
 * Laragiya (nearly extinct)
 * Limilngan
 * Limilngan
 * Wulna
 * Umbugarlic
 * Umbugarla
 * Ngurmbur?
 * Bugurnidja?

Ngurmbur and Bugurnidja are poorly attested extinct languages, which are joined with Umbugarla to form the Umbugarlic branch.

Tryon (2007) lists the following varieties of Umbugarla–Ngumbur:
 * Ngunbudj (Gonbudj), Umbugarla, Bugunidja, Ngarduk, Ngumbur.

However, nothing is known of Ngunbudj or Ngarduk, which were extinct by World War II.
