Barunggam (Murrumningama) is an extinct Pama-Nyungan Aboriginal language spoken by the Barunggam people of Queensland in Australia. [2] The Barunggam language shared many words with the neighboring languages, including Jarowair [3] to the east, Wakka Wakka to the north and Mandandanji to the west. [4] Kite and Wurm describe Barunggam as a dialect of Wakka Wakka. [1]

Tindale gives the traditional lands for the Barunggam who spoke the language as:

"Headwaters of Condamine River east of Jackson to about Dalby; north about Charley Creek to Dividing Ranges and west to Wongorgera and Woleebee; south to Tara; at 165 Chinchilla and Jandowae. Their country is on the red soils south and west of the Dividing Range". [5]
