The '''Wilson River language''', also known as '''"Modern" Wankumara''' (Wangkumara/ Wanggumara), is an [[Australian Aboriginal language]] of the [[Karnic]] family. It was spoken by several peoples along the [[Wilson River (Queensland)|Wilson River]] in Queensland. Of these, the [[Wanggumara]] (Wangkumara) and [[Galali people|Galali]] may have migrated from the [[Bulloo River]] and abandoned [[Kalali language|their language]] when they arrived.
