Dhungaloo (Dungaloo) is an extinct [2] Australian Aboriginal language of Queensland. Bowern [3] suggests that it may have been a Maric language. However, AIATSIS has no listing for the name, listing a Dungaloo wordlist under Taribelang. [4] [5] Glottolog treats it as a dialect of Gureng Gureng. [2]
