Darumbal, also spelt Dharambal, is an Australian Aboriginal language of Queensland in Australia declared extinct.
[3][4] Indeed, Angela Terrill states that "there is no evidence on which to base a claim of a low-level genetic group including Dharumbal with any other language".
Walter Roth spells Ta-rum-bal and Taroombal while Norman Tindale records Dharumbal and cites the alternatives Tarumbul, Tarambol, Tarmbal and Charumbul.
Nils Holmer, who undertook the first modern field study of the language[5] uses Darumbal, as does the Darumbal-Noolar Murree Aboriginal Corporation for Land and Culture.
From the existing material, Terrill concludes that there were likely three phonemically distinct rhotic consonants: a retroflex continuant, and two trills, distinguished by voicing.
