Thiin is an Australian Aboriginal language of Western Australia.
[edit] Classification
Thiin is usually placed in the Mantharta subgroup of South-West Pama-Nyungan languages, though Carl Georg von Brandenstein's 1967 classification[1] had Thiin as a Coastal Ngayarda language.
Thiin is similar to Jiwarli, and the two are sometimes regarded as a single language.
