Maningrida, also known as Burarran, is a small family of Australian Aboriginal languages spoken in northern Australia. It includes four languages, none closely related:
- Burarran proper (Bureran): Guragone, Burarra
- Djeebbana (or Ndjebbana, also called Gunavidji, Gunivugi, Kunibidji, or Gombudj)
- Nakkara
Green established the family by reconstructing the tense–aspect–mood inflections of Proto-Maningrida, and demonstrated common developments that set them apart from other Arnhem languages.[2][3]
