Barunggam (Murrumningama) is an extinct Pama-Nyungan Aboriginal language spoken by the Barunggam people of Queensland in Australia. Barunggam, at AIATSIS Language and Peoples Thesaurus. The Barunggam language shared many words with the neighboring languages, including Jarowair to the east, Wakka Wakka to the north and Mandandanji to the west. Barunggam body parts. Kite and Wurm describe Barunggam as a dialect of Wakka Wakka.

Their country is on the red soils south and west of the Dividing Range".Norman Barnett Tindale, Barunggam (QLD) , (South Australian Museum website, 2000).
