The Ngurlun languages, also known as Eastern Mirndi, are a branch of the

Ngarnka, Wambaya, and often Binbinka and Gurdanji.[1]

The group was formerly thought to be most closely related to the Jingulu language, with this larger group called West Barkly or simply Barkly,[2] but the connection is no longer thought to be genealogical.[1]
