The Yirram or Jaminjungan (Djamindjungan) languages are two related Australian Aboriginal languages spoken in northern Australia, Djamindjung and Nungali. Djamindjung is a dialect cluster of Jaminjung and Ngaliwurru dialects.
Recently Neil Chadwick proposed that the Djamindjungan languages are related to the West Barkly language family in a family he calls Mirndi.
