Malgana language


Malgana is the Aboriginal Australian language of the Malgana people. It is one of the Kartu languages of the Pama–Nyungan family of languages.
Malgana country is the area around Shark Bay in Western Australia. In particular it includes the Peron and Edel Land Peninsulas as well as some of the adjoining land. The Irra Wangga Language Centre has been carrying out work on the Malgana language since 1995 and has produced an illustrated wordlist as well as grammatical materials and a dictionary.
'Buluguda', 'Damala', and 'Watjanti' were likely Malgana-speaking locations or social groupings, rather than dialects, but it's possible they were Nhanda instead.
