Wororan

The Worrorran, or Wororan, languages are a small group of Aboriginal tongues of the northern Kimberley in Western Australia, falling into three clusters: Worrorra on the western coast, Wunambal in the north and Ngarinyin, also called Ungarinjin, to the east. Scholars have debated whether the three form a true family or merely a regional group bound by long contact, though recent comparative work supports a common origin.

The Worrorra also used a signed form of speech when addressing kin bound by taboo. Like other Kimberley tongues they were unwritten oral languages when Dutch ships first charted the Australian coast after 1606, and they remained so through the early colonial period.
