Thalanyji language
Australian Aboriginal language of the Pilbara region in Western Australia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thalanyji (also spelt Dhalandji, Thalanyji, and other variations) is an Australian Aboriginal language from the Pilbara region of Western Australia. It is part of the Kanyara subgroup of the Pama–Nyungan language family.
It is spoken by the Thalanyji people. It is thought to be extinct; there were six speakers of Thalanyji recorded in 2004/5,[2] but none since.[3]
According to Peter Austin, Pinikura, Thalanyji, Payungu and Purdana "should probably be classified as belonging to the Kanyara subgroup".[3]
