Kungkari (Gunggari) is an extinct, unclassified Australian Aboriginal language. Geographically it lay near the Barcoo River between the Karnic and Maric languages, but had no obvious connection to either; the data is too poor to draw any conclusions on classification. There is another language by the same name which was Maric.[3][2]
