Darumbal Language
Darumbal, also spelt Dharambal, is an Aboriginal Australian language of Queensland in Australia declared extinct. It was spoken in the Rockhampton area of Queensland. Dialects were Guwinmal, Karunbara, Rakiwara, and Wapabura. It is classified with Bayali as a Kingkel language, but the two are not close, with a low 21% shared vocabulary.

Name Spelling and Pronunciation There is some variation in the naming of the language community. Walter Roth spells ''Ta-rum-bal'' and ''Taroombal'' while Norman Tindale records ''Dharumbal'' and cites the alternatives ''Tarumbul'', ''Tarambol'', ''Tarmbal'' and ''Charumbul''. Nils Holmer, who undertook the first modern field study of the language uses Darumbal, as does thDarumbal-Noolar Murree Aboriginal Corporation for Land and Culture However, Holmer also uses ⟨D⟩ to indicate an in ...
