Warumungu
The Warumungu (or Warramunga) language is spoken by the Warumungu people in Australia's Northern Territory. In addition to spoken language, the Warumungu have a highly developed sign language.
The language and practices of the Warumungu have been documented since at least 1899, with the publication of a book by the anthropologists Baldwin Spencer and Francis Gillen.
