Kundedjnjenghmi is a dialect of Bininj Kunwok, an Australian Aboriginal language. [2] The Kundedjnjenghmi dialect is native to the high 'stone country' of the Arnhem Plateau, [2] including the communities of Kabulwarnamyo and Kamarrkawarn. [3] Younger speakers in this area have largely switched to other varieties of Bininj Kunwok, although they retain a passive knowledge of Kundedjnjenghmi. [2] A number of songs by the Nabarlek band use the Kundedjnjenghmi dialect, as do traditional 'Kunborrk' songs. [2]
