Ngomburr, also speltNgumbur, is an extinctAustralian Aboriginal language. It has sometimes been assumed to be a dialect ofUmbugarla,[1] but it is poorly attested; the only evidence to go on is that neighbouring peoples reported that it was similar to Umbugarla, as well as some sentences and vocabulary.[2][3] It was spoken to the west of theSouth Alligator River, between the Ga'baarlgu and theSouth Alligator River, inKakadu, Northern Territory.[1]
There were two speakers recorded in 1975, and one in 1981, but none since then, on theAUSTLANG database.[1] The last speaker, Butcher Knight, died sometime between 1987 and 2001.
