The Yaroinga (Yuruwinga) are an Aboriginal Australian people of the Northern Territory.
Yaroinga country covered, according to Tindale's estimation, some 11,900 square miles (31,000 km2), straddling both the Northern Territory and Queensland, at such places in the latter state as Urandangi and Headingly, and as far east as Mount Isa. Their northern limits were around Lake Nash. Westwards they were present at Barkly Downs, Mount Hogarth and Argadargada (now on the northern boundary of Manners Creek Station). [1]
They spoke the Ayerrerenge dialect (also known as Ayerrereng, Araynepenh, Yuruwinga, Bularnu and other variations), regarded as a variation of Andegerebinha, of the Upper Arrernte language group, and now extinct. [2]
The Yaroinga were divided into clans, some of whose names are recorded.
Ngardi, also spelt Ngarti or Ngardilj, is an Australian Aboriginal language that is considered moribund. It was previously thought to be an alternative name for the Bunara language, but these are now classified as separate languages.

Arrernte or Aranda or sometimes referred to as Upper Arrernte, is a dialect cluster in the Arandic language group spoken in parts of the Northern Territory, Australia, by the Arrernte people. Other spelling variations are Arunta or Arrarnta, and all of the dialects have multiple other names.
The Andegerebinha language, also known as Andegerebenha, Andigibinha, Antekerrepenhe and Antekerrepinhe, is an Australian Aboriginal language of the Northern Territory, specifically of the Upper Arrernte language group. It was spoken around the Hay River and Pituri Creek area. It was spoken by only ten individuals in 1981, five in 2005, and in the 2016 census there were no fluent speakers of the language, so is now classified as dormant.
