Bigambul Language
Bigambal (also ''Bigambul'', ''Bigumbil'', ''Pikambul'', or ''Pikumbul'') is an extinct and unclassified Australian Aboriginal language from the Pama–Nyungan language family. The Bigambul language region includes the landscape within the local government boundaries of the Goondiwindi Regional Council, including the towns of Goondiwindi, Yelarbon and Texas extending north towards Moonie and Millmerran.

However, it is likely that the Gamilaraay (or Yuwaaliyaay) language was used by those peoples living in southern Bigambul territory. Classification Dixon (2002) groups Bigambal together with the Bundjalung languages while O'Grady, Voegelin and Voegelin classify it as a 'Wiradjuric' language.
