Warluwarra is an extinct Australian Aboriginal language of Queensland.
Classification[edit]
R. M. W. Dixon (2002) places Warluwara in the Southern Ngarna subgroup, along with Wagaya, Yindjilandji, and Bularnu. This is in turn related to Yanyuwa.[citation needed]
Sign[edit]
The Warluwara had a developed signed form of their language.[3]
