Minkin language
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Minkin language is an extinct Australian Aboriginal language, perhaps a language isolate, of northern Australia.
The classification of Minkin is uncertain, primarily due to a lack of data. It has been suggested that it may have been related to the Yiwaidjan or Tankic language families.
