The Wanggumara, also spelt Wangkumara, Wongkumara, Wangkumarra, and other variants, are an Aboriginal people of the state of Queensland, Australia.
Old Wankumara, spoken along the Bulloo River with the Kalali people, was a "Karna–Mari fringe" language that died out with the passing of its last speakers in the late 20th century.
The disambiguator "modern" simply refers to the fact that the Wanggumara people continued speaking that language more recently than the other.
[1] According to Norman Tindale, the Wanggumara lands covered some 4,500 square miles (12,000 km2), stretching over Cooper Creek east of Nappa Merrie and Orientos to the area around the ephemeral Wilson River at Nockatunga.
[3] Those surviving moved to Chastleton (former name of Nappa Merrie Station) and Narcowlah where they mingled with the Kalali.
