Kungkari language


Kungkari is an extinct and unclassified Australian Aboriginal language. The Kungkari language region included the landscape within the local government boundaries of the Longreach Shire Council and Blackall-Tambo Shire Council.

Classification

Geographically it lay near the Barcoo River between the Karnic and Maric languages, but had no obvious connection to either; the data is too poor to draw any conclusions on classification.
Bowern mentions Kungkari as a possible Karnic language.
Wafer and Lissarrague report that a description of Kungkari by Breen is of Kungkari, not the similarly-named Gunggari, which was Maric.
