The Darwin Region languages are a family of Australian Aboriginal languages of northern Australia proposed by linguist Mark Harvey[citation needed]. It unites the pair of Limilngan languages with two language isolates:
- Darwin Region Laragiya (nearly extinct) Limilngan Limilngan † Wulna † Umbugarlic Umbugarla † ?Ngurmbur † ?Bugurnidja †
Ngurmbur and Bugurnidja are poorly attested extinct languages, which are joined with Umbugarla to form the Umbugarlic branch.
Tryon (2007) lists the following varieties of Umbugarla–Ngumbur:
Ngunbudj (Gonbudj), Umbugarla, Bugunidja, Ngarduk, Ngumbur.
However, nothing is known of Ngunbudj or Ngarduk, which were extinct by World War II.
