The Darling language is an Australian aboriginal language spoken at the base of the Darling River in New South Wales. Other names for the language include Kula, Baagandji, and Southern Baagandji. The Darling People are now, after British settlement, nearly extinct. Only five elders are left speaking the language, and only several more are ethnically related. However, a dialect called Bagundji is widely understood. Other dialects are Kula and Wiljakali. It could be extinct.
