Pirriya language

Pirriya, also rendered Birria and Bidia and also known as Kunggari, Kulumali, and Kungadutji,[3] is an extinct, unclassified Australian Aboriginal language, now extinct. Geographically it lay between the Karnic and Maric languages, but had no obvious connection to either; the data is too poor to draw any conclusions on classification.[4] It is not to be confused with the Biri language and its dialects, also a Queensland language, spoken by the Biria people.
