Awngthim is anextinctAustralian Aboriginal language formerly spoken inCape York inQueensland,Australia by theWinduwinda people. The Awngthim language region includes the areas around Weipa and the Cook Shire.[2]
The nameAwngthim is not a synonym ofAnguthimri, though due to their similarity they have sometimes been confused.[3]
Hale (1964) treats Awngthim as a cover term for dialects Ntrwa'ngayth/ntʳwaʔŋajt̪/, Thyanhngayth/t̪jan̪ŋajt̪/, and Mamngayth/mamŋajt̪/.[4]-Ngayth is a suffix common to many tribal names of the area. These are the Ntrwa'a, Thyanh, and Mam dialects.
TheNdrangith andNdra'ngith languages have been confused with Ntrwa'ngayth.
