Adnyamathanha (Adnyamathanha-na yarta, "Adnyamathanha country language", or "Hills People") is a critically endangered Pama-Nyungan Aboriginal language of the Flinders Ranges in South Australia. The Adnyamathanha people are deeply tied to the spectacular geology of the Flinders, which features in their Yura Muda (Dreamtime) narratives. The Wilpena Pound (Ikara) and surrounding rangelands are central cultural sites. Adnyamathanha shares Thura-Yura family features with the better-documented Kaurna (Adelaide Plains, also nearly extinct) and Wirangu. The Schebeck 1973 reference grammar made Adnyamathanha accessible to academic linguistics, and the Adnyamathanha Traditional Lands Association supports ongoing revitalization through school programs and Yura Muda recordings.
