The Umbugarla language is an Australian language isolate spoken by just three people in Arnhem Land, northern Australia, as of 1981. It may now be extinct.
It had been suggested that Umbugarla may be related to the Ngurmbur isolate, forming a Umbugarla-Ngurmbur language family. More recently, however, Umbugarla was included in a proposed Arnhem Land family, without Ngurmbur.
