Kureinji is an extinct language of southwest New South Wales. It is also called Keramin and Kemendok, though it is not clear if these are dialects or synonyms. [1]

Keramin is also spelled Karin, Kerinma, Karinma, Karingma, Keramin; other names are Orangema, Pintwa.

Horgen suggests that Yerreyerre is another name for Keramin, [2] but this name may refer to other languages. [3]
