Ritharrŋu (Ritharngu, Ritarungo) is an Australian Aboriginal Yolŋu language, spoken in Australia's Northern Territory.
Dialects are the two moieties of the Ritharrngu people: (a) Ritharngu, and (b) Wagilak.[3] Dhiyakuy (Diakui) has been claimed to be another name, but is not recognized.[by whom?] The Manggurra clan now speak Ritharngu, but apparently shifted from Nunggubuyu.
