Dhungaloo (Dungaloo) is an extinct[2] Australian Aboriginal language of Queensland. Bowern[3] suggests that it may have been a Maric language. However, AIATSIS has no listing for the name, listing a Dungaloo wordlist under Taribelang (Gureng-Gureng).[4][5] Glottolog does the same, treating it as a dialect of Gureng Gureng.[2]
