- Source: Ngaliwurru people
The Ngaliwurru are an indigenous Australian people of the Northern Territory.
Language
Ngaliwurru is closely related to Jaminjung, two of the three languages of the Yirram branch of the non Pama–Nyungan languages.
Country
Norman Tindale assigned to the Ngaliwurru domains a territory of roughly 6,200 square miles (16,000 km2), to the southwest of the Victoria River, and south of Bradshaw. It also included Timber Creek and the treeless plateau terrain westwards beyond Limbunya, Waterloo and the West Baines River. In relatively modern times, the Ngaliwurru moving southwards took over the traditional lands of the former Tjial people.
Alternative name
Ngaliwerun
