Aghu Tharrnggala (or Aghu Tharnggalu) is an extinct language variety formerly spoken in Queensland, Australia. The name may also be used to refer to a language consisting of the Aghu Tharrngala dialect and several other related varieties.
[edit] Classification
Aghu Tharrnggala may have been a single language with some or all Ikarrangal, Koko-Possum/Alngula, and Kuku-Mini, but there is insufficient information to be certain—Aghu Tharrngala is the only dialect for which grammatical data is available.
Aghu Tharrnggala is demonstrably related to Kuku-Thaypan. The two may also have been related to Takalak, although again there is insufficient information.
