Yugul (Yukul) is a possible extinct Australian Aboriginal language of the Marran family.[3] The name "Yugul" is a cover term for languages of the area, and there is no linguistic information. However, on the basis of place names, Harvey (2008) notes that Yugul appears to be closely related to Marra.[2]
