Barungguan
While they do not appear under that name on the AIATSIS Map of Indigenous Australia, Norman Tindale's Aboriginal Tribes of Australia places the Barungguan (alternatively Barunguan (typographical error), Baka (Kaantju term), Banjigam (Bakanambia term), Jintjingga (toponym for a place at the mouth of Stewart River), Yintjingga, Njindingga, Umbuigamu (horde), Umbindhamu (horde), Ganganda) on around 1,800 square kilometres of country on Princess Charlotte Bay's western side, extending northwards toward Cape Sidmouth with a northern limit around the Rocky River.
In a confused post-contact ethnography, it seems they were one of the groups that coalesced under the blanket term Lamalama; anthropologist Donald Thomson classified them spoke of them as the Yintjinga, placed them among what he called the Kawadji, and noted that the Umpila applied Korko Kan-kanda or Ganganda ('strange language') to languages so distinct from their own they could not 'hear' or 'listen' to them.
The Endangered Languages Project includes Barungguan under Umpithamu in a list of Critically Endangered Pama-Nyungan languages, alongside Baka, Banjigam, Barunguan, Ganganda, Jintjingga, Koko Ompindamo, Kuuku-Umpinthamu, Njindingga, Umbuigamu, Umpinthamu, Uuku Umpithamu, 'Uuk-Umpithamu, Yintjingga, and Umbindhamu. Elsewhere, Ganganda appears as a cover term for Umbindhamu and Umujgamu,. The coastal dialect of Lamalama is reported as Kankanda and the 'very similar' Kankada is used as an alternative for 'the broad use of Lamalama.
