Bindal (Bendalgubba, Nyawaygi) is an extinct Australian Aboriginal language of North Queensland.[1] The Bindal language region included the area from Cape Cleveland extending south towards Ayr and the mouth of the Burdekin River, encompassing the landscape within the boundaries of the Townsville City Council and Burdekin Shire Council.[2]

Classification

Bowern suggests that it might have been a Maric language.[3] Breen presumes that one of two Lower Burdekin languages, which he concluded were not Maric, is Bindal.[1]
