Maung (Mawung, Mawng, Gun-marung) is an Australian aboriginal language spoken by the Maung people on the Goulburn Islands, off the north coast of Arnhem Land, in the Northern Territory of Australia.
Maung is closely related to Iwaidja language which occupies the northwestern corner of the opposite mainland.
[1] Study of Maung has developed to the point where a dictionary, grammar and portions of the Bible are available.
[4] Maung is taught in local schools alongside English and other languages such as Iwaidja or Kunwinjku.
Maung has five grammatical genders: masculine, feminine, vegetation, land, and edible.
