Mithaka language
Extinct Australian Aboriginal language
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mithaka (also Midhaga, Mitaka) is an extinct Australian Aboriginal language in the Barcoo Shire of Western Queensland spoken by the Mitaka people.[2][3]
Classification and dialects
Karruwali (Garuwali) and Marulta (Marrulha, Marrula) are counted as dialects per Dixon (2002).[1]
Breen thinks Mithaka, Marula, and Marunuda may be the same language but does not know whether they are alternative names or distinct dialects of the same language.[4]
However, Bowern (2001) states that there is not enough evidence to classify them, or even to establish that they are Karnic languages.[5]
