Wangkumara or Wanggumara is an Australian Aboriginal language from the Karnic subgroup of the widespread Pama–Nyungan languages family and is sometimes also classified as a dialect of Ngura. In 1981 it was still spoken by 4 members of the Wangkumara people around Cooper Creek, the Thomson River and the Warry Warry Creek, the town of Eromanga and the Nuccundra [1] in Queensland, Australia; today it might be already extinct.
Wangkumara is notable for being a language with a tripartite verbal alignment.
