Dhungaloo (Dungaloo) is an extinct[3] Australian Aboriginal language of Queensland. Bowern[4] suggests that it may have been a Maric language. However, AIATSIS has no listing for the name, listing a Dungaloo wordlist under Taribelang (Gureng-Gureng).[5][6] Glottolog does the same, treating it as a dialect of Gureng Gureng.[3]
