Yirandhali language

Yirandhali (Yirandali, Jirandali), also known as Pooroga,[4] is an extinct Australian Aboriginal language of Hughenden in Central Queensland.

Dixon (2002) speculates that it may belong in the Maric branch of that family, but further research is required before this can be verified, due to the limited lexical material that is available in the language.

At the nearby Porcupine Gorge, in an area known locally as 'the Tattoos', there are signs of Aboriginal rock drawings.

[6][9] One of the distinguishing features of the language is that every word ends with a vowel sound.

For instance, the root word ŋamun (breast) common in other languages of the region has been incorporated in Yirandali as "ŋamuna".
