Ndwa'ngith was apparently an Australian language once spoken in the Cape York Peninsula of Queensland. It is undocumented, without even word lists to record it.^[2]

Sutton (2001) distinguishes Ndwa'ngith from the similar-sounding Northern Paman languages Ndra'ngith, Ndrangith, and Ntrwa'ngayth.^[2]
