Dharuk (also spelt Dharruk, Dharug, Daruk, and Darug) or the Sydney Language is an extinct Australian Aboriginal language. Although the term Dharuk originally referred specifically to the variety used by the Dharuk people, today the word is used to include the speech of the Eora and the Cammeraygal, with which it was mutually intelligible.
