Lardil (also spelled
Leerdil or Leertil) is a
moribund language spoken on
Mornington Island (Kunhanha), in the
Wellesley Islands of
Queensland in northern Australia. Lardil is unusual among Australian languages in that it features a ceremonial
register, called
Damin (also Demiin). Damin is regarded by Lardil speakers as a separate language, and possesses the only phonological system outside Africa to use
click consonants.
