Ngombal


The Ngombal, also known as the Ngumbarl, are an indigenous Australian people of Western Australia.

Language

Adequate documentation of the Ngombal language is lacking, but the evidence suggests it was one of the Nyulnyulan languages, with William McGregor speculating that it may have belonged to the western branch.

Country

In Norman Tindale's estimation, the Ngombal's tribal lands covered some. They were a coastal people with an inland territorial reach of about 30 miles, located between the Djaberadjabera to their north, the Nimanburu to the east, the Yawuru to the southeast and the Djugun to their south.
