List of Australian Aboriginal languages of the Northern Territory

This is a list of Australian Aboriginal languages within the Northern Territory (NT) of Australia. It includes traditional languages of which the traditional land or country falls within the borders of the NT, as well as contact languages (such as Aboriginal English, Gurindji Kriol and Dhuwaya) which are now spoken by Aboriginal people in the NT. The Aboriginal Interpreter Service of the NT, a government-funded organisation, provides interpreting for almost one hundred Aboriginal languages and dialects. Bilingual education programs using children's first languages and Standard Australian English, have been implemented in the NT in both government and non-government schools since the early 1970s.
