  historic distribution of Umbugarla

The Umbugarla language is an Australian language isolate once spoken by three people in Arnhem Land, northern Australia, in 1981, and is now extinct.

Umbugarla was once considered a language isolate (together with Ngurmbur as a dialect), but Mark Harvey has made a case for it being part of a family of Darwin Region languages.
