Giimbiyu is an extinct Aboriginal Australian language isolate of northern Australia.
The name Giimbiyu is a Gaagudju word for 'of the stoney country'. It was introduced in Harvey (1992) as a cover term for the named dialects,[3]
- Mangerr (Mengerrdji)
- Urningangga (Wuningak) and Erri (Arri)
In 1997 Nicholas Evans proposed an Arnhem Land family that includes the Giimbiyu languages. However, they are not included in Bowern (2011).[4]
