Jingili

The Jingili, or Jingulu, are an Aboriginal Australian people of the Northern Territory whose country lay around Elliott, called Kulumindini, and the springs of Daly Waters and Newcastle Waters. Their own oral tradition holds that the Jingili originally migrated from the Great Western Desert.

Their language, Jingulu, is an isolate branch of the non-Pama-Nyungan Mirndi family and forms, with several neighbouring tongues, the West Barkly group, and the Jingili kept a developed sign language alongside speech.

They tell of the Dreaming tracks of the Emu and the Sun passing through Daly Waters, and their later fusion with incoming Mudburra people produced the Kuwarrangu group while the two cultures remained distinct.
