Ngadjuri is an extinct Australian Aboriginal language formerly spoken by the Ngadjuri people of South Australia, whose traditional lands covered roughly 30,000 square kilometres (11,500 mi²), embracing Angaston and Freeling in the south and running northwards to Clare, Crystal Brook, Gladstone up to Carrieton and Orroroo in the Flinders Ranges.

Phonology

[β] may exist as a possible allophone of /b/, however; it may also be phonemic.
The voiced stops /b, ɡ, d̪, ɟ, d, ɖ/ may also be heard as voiceless as [p, k, t̪, c, t, ʈ], among speakers.^[2]
The following nasal /n̪, ɲ, n, ɳ/ and lateral sounds /l̪, ʎ, l, ɭ/ may be prestopped as [^d̪n̪, ^ɟɲ, ^dn, ^ɖɳ] and [^d̪l̪, ^ɟʎ, ^dl, ^ɖɭ] when preceded by a stop consonant.^[3]
