Mudbura (Mudburra), also known as Pinkangama, is an aboriginal language of Australia.

Karranga may have been a Mudbura dialect.^[2] However, it is undocumented. Despite this lack of evidence, Bowern (2011) classifies it as a language isolate.^[3]

Sign language

The Mudbura have (or had) a well-developed signed form of their language.^[4]
