Atampaya Dialect
Urradhi is a Paman language of the Cape York Peninsula of Queensland, Australia, and is apparently extinct. It was spoken by the Urradhi people. Urradhi proper is the south-western dialect of the language. The name is composed of ''urra'' "this" and the proprietive ''dhi'' "having". The south-eastern dialect of the same language, Wudhadhi, is made of the same elements, ''wudha'' being "this".

Urradhi People
The Injinoo were an Indigenous Australian people of the Cape York Peninsula, and their name now applies to a tribal aggregation of remnants of various tribes of the Cape York Peninsula. Country The traditional lands of the Injinoo Community extend from the ''Skardon River'' on the west coast, and ''Captain Billy's Landing'' on the east coast up to ''Pajinka'' at the top of Cape York. History of contact The Injinoo are of mixed descent, constituted by peoples who, displaced by settler expansionism, were driven to this area where they intermarried with the Injinoo, and developed a collective Injinoo identity.
