Wanggamala, also known as Wangka-Yutjurru, is an extinct Australian Aboriginal language of the Pama–Nyungan family,[2] previously spoken in the Northern Territory, around and to the south of the Andegerebinha-speaking area.

As of 2003, there was one speaker remaining.[3] Lanima, Yurlayurlanya (Ulaolinya), and Rangwa (Runga-Rungawa) are not dialects, but clans speaking the Wangkamanha dialect.[4]
