Kungkari (also Gunggari, Koonkerri, Kuungkari) is an extinct and unclassified Australian Aboriginal language.[1] The Kungkari language region included the landscape within the local government boundaries of the Longreach Shire Council and Blackall-Tambo Shire Council.[2]

Classification

Geographically it lay near the Barcoo River between the Karnic and Maric languages, but had no obvious connection to either; the data is too poor to draw any conclusions on classification.

Bowern (2001) mentions Kungkari as a possible Karnic language.[3]^: 247

Wafer and Lissarrague (2008)[4]^: 324 report that a description of Kungkari by Breen (1990)[5]^: 22–64 is of Kungkari, not the similarly-named Gunggari, which was Maric.[3]
