[5] Uradhi (also known as Anggamudi, Ankamuti, Atampaya, Bawtjathi, and Lotiga) is an Australian Aboriginal language of the Western Cape York Peninsula.

Following the displacement of Indigenous people by British settlement, it was also spoken in the Northern Peninsula Area Region including the communities of New Mapoon, Injinoo and Cowal Creek.

After the Second World War, which saw a considerable military presence in the area, many Torres Strait Islanders began moving into Injinoo.

The nearest government secondary school is the Senior Campus of the Northern Peninsula Area College in Bamaga to the north-east.
