Mithaka (also Midhaga, Mitaka) is an extinct Australian Aboriginal language in the Barcoo ShireofWestern Queensland spoken by the Mitaka people.[2][3]

Classification and dialects[edit]

Karruwali (Garuwali) and Marulta (Marrulha, Marrula) are counted as dialects per Dixon (2002).[1]

Breen thinks Mithaka, Marula, and Marunuda may be the same language but does not know if they are alternative names or distinct dialects of the same language.[4]

However, Bowern (2001) states that there is not enough evidence to classify them, or even to establish that they are Karnic languages.[5]
