The Flinders Island language is an extinct Australian Aboriginal language spoken on Flinders Island off the coast of Queensland, Australia. It is unconfirmed as a distinct language. The inhabitants of the island were the Aba Yalgayi.[2] There were 3 speakers reported in 1981.[3]
One of the last known speakers of the language was Johnny Flinders.[4]
