Madhi-Madhi (Muthimuthi) is an Indigenous Australian language spoken by the Muthi Muthi Aboriginal people of New South Wales.
Luise Hercus[3] recorded a substantial amount of Muthi Muthi language from Jack Long whom she described as "the last Madimadi man". It was as a result of her statements that many linguists have recorded in error that the language became extinct when Long died.
