The West Barkly or simply Barkly languages are a branch of the Mirndi languages spoken around in the Barkly Tableland of Northern Territory, Australia. The branch consists of three languages: Jingulu, and Ngarnka and Wambaya. The last two languages form yet another branch themselves, called Eastern Mirndi.[1]
