Barunggam Language
Barunggam (Murrumningama) is an extinct Aboriginal language spoken by the Barunggam people of Queensland in Australia. The Barunggam language shared many words with the neighboring languages, including Jarowair to the east, Wakka Wakka to the north and Mandandanji to the west.

Their country is on the red soils south and west of the Dividing Range". Norman Barnett Tindale Barunggam (QLD) (South Australian Museum website, 2000).
