Manyjilyjarra dialect

Manyjilyjarra (Manjiljarra, Mandjildjara) is an Australian Aboriginal language, generally considered a dialect of the Western Desert language.

It is often classified as a distinct language among the Wati languages of the large Pama–Nyungan family of Australia.

It is one of the components of the Martu Wangka koine.

Most of the peoples of central Australia have (or at one point had) signed forms of their languages. Among the Western Desert peoples, sign language has been reported specifically for Manjiljarra, though it is not clear from records how well developed it was.
