Ngandji

The Ngandji, also called Gudanji or Kotandji, are an Aboriginal people of the Gulf country and Barkly Tableland in the Northern Territory. Norman Tindale reckoned their lands at about 31,000 square kilometres, running south-east from the coastal slope at Tanumbirini to the headwaters of the McArthur River, west to the head of Newcastle Creek and south to Anthony Lagoon and Eva Downs.

Their speech was a West Barkly language of the non-Pama-Nyungan Mirndi group, unusual for these parts in being a suffixing rather than prefixing tongue, and so close to Wambaya and Binbinka that linguists treat the three as dialects of a single McArthur language.
