Thiin language

Thiin is an Australian Aboriginal language of Western Australia.

Classification

Thiin is usually placed in the Mantharta subgroup of Southwest 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.
