The Wunambal language, also known as Northern Worrorran, Gambera or Gaambera, is a moribund Australian Aboriginal language of Western Australia. It has several dialects, including Yiiji, Gunin, Miwa, and Wilawila (with Gaambera and Wunambal also distinguished as separate). It is spoken by the Wunambal people. Wunambal is one of three Worrorran languages, the others being (Western) Worrorra and Ngarinyin (Eastern Worrorra, or Ungarinjin). , "Wunambal Gaambera" is part of a language revival project. Classification Wunambal is a noun-classifying language that is part of the family of Northern Kimberley languages spoken by the Worrorra people of the north-west Kimberleys in Australia, an area home to remnant groups of Aboriginal Australians. It is one of three Worrorran languages, the others being (Western) Worrorra and Ngarinyin (Eastern Worrorra, or Ungarinjin), all of the "Northern Kimberley Division". It has been classified by linguists as non-Pama-Nyungan; "Other adjacent non-Pama-Nyungan language families are Nyulnyulan to the south-west, Bunuban to the south, and Jarrakan to the east." Linguists classify Wunambal and its dialects as pronominal prefixing languages. Some have distinguished three sub-groupings of Worrorran as Wunambalic, Ungarinyinic, and Worrorric, further distinguished as Northern, Central and Southern. It is a polysynthetic language that is distinct in that "all of the linguistic varieties in the Worrorran language family have noun classes" and "verbs that take subject and object prefixes". Wunambal has several dialects, some of which may sometimes be treated as separate languages: Wunambal proper (5 speakers in 2005) Gamberre (extinct by 2016) Kwini (Gunin) (1 speaker in 2005) Miwa (Bagu) (extinct) Yiidji (Forrest River) (maybe 10 speakers in 2005) ? Wilawila (extinct) ? Ginan (extinct) Bowern (2012) lists three Northern Worrorran languages: Wunambal proper, Gamberre, and Gunin.

History Wunambal's earliest noted documentation was in the early 20th century by J.R.B. Love. Aboriginal peoples have occupied the Kimberleys for at least 40,000 years. The Wunambal peoples are members of their territory's descent group, and they are part of what is characterized as 'clan estates.' Their particular estate is termed guraa, inclusive of the Wunambal people and the Gaambera people. After noted contact with Europeans, Worrorran peoples consisted of around 300. There were fewer than ten speakers of the Wunambal language in 2009. Language revival , Wunambal Gaambera is listed as one of 20 languages prioritised as part of the Priority Languages Support Project,
